Employer Bio
Generation is a charity with the vision of a meaningful career for every person. Their aim is to support people facing significant and multiple barriers to employment into life-changing careers they otherwise could not access. They achieve this with a unique methodology of profession-specific skills bootcamp training, focussed on in-demand careers (specifically in the tech, healthcare and green sectors), with extensive, ongoing pastoral support and matchmaking to employer partners.
Job Summary
In 2027, Generation will launch in Liverpool City Region with the backing of major funders. This is an exciting opportunity to play a pivotal role in this launch, and in the wider scaling of Generation’s impact. They are looking for a diligent, highly organised self-starter who can (i) lead on FE college business development and (ii) build Generation’s public sector funding pipeline and win new bids:
- 1. This role secures new FE college partners, pitching Generation’s shared-delivery model, tailoring it to each college’s context and building genuine buy-in. It then works through the practical detail of how the partnership would run with the college, negotiating terms through to a signed agreement, before handing over to the delivery team for implementation.
- 2. Accessing public sector funding is crucial to Generation UK’s growth and sustainability. Colleges part-fund Generation programmes from their budgets (e.g., Adult Skills Fund, SWAPs etc). Alongside this, the role leads Generation’s applications for direct contracts with combined authorities (GLA, WMCA, LCRCA, WYCA, GMCA, etc) and government departments (e.g., Department for Work and Pensions, Department for Education). It also leads the coordination of joint proposals with college partners.
It’s a strong fit for someone who enjoys new business development and excels at managing relationships with FE college leaders and public sector stakeholders. This person can engage stakeholders leading up to and throughout commissioning rounds, including writing compelling propositions and bids.
