We are looking for an experienced and motivated Lead Employability Officer to lead and develop our employability and adult learning programmes. This is an exciting opportunity to make a real difference by supporting individuals from diverse communities to build skills, access learning opportunities and move towards sustainable employment.

The successful candidate will lead the delivery of our employability services, including the No One Left Behind programme, funded by Glasgow City Council and delivered through the Glasgow Ethnic Minority Service (GEMS) consortium. Led by Bridges Programmes, GEMS brings together community organisations and education partners, including Glasgow Clyde College, Cranhill Community Trust, Community Renewal, GECCo, Govanhill Community Development Trust and Amina MWRC, to provide accessible and inclusive employability support to marginalised communities across Glasgow.

As Lead Employability Officer, you will line manage and support Project Officers delivering these services, ensuring high-quality provision and positive outcomes for service users.

You will play a key role in driving forward Amina's employability objectives and helping to create lasting positive change for the communities we serve.
