About the Post:


You’ll be impressed by the changes taking place in Barnsley at the moment. Creating more and better jobs for Barnsley residents is at the heart of these changes and our Post-16 Partnership Manager has a key role to play in making sure Barnsley young people are suitably skilled for the future.

Creativity, ambition and a focus on people. That’s what matters at Barnsley Council. Our award-winning council is on an exciting journey of change. It’s all about putting local people at the heart of everything, listening to and doing good for our communities. We’re now more innovative, more efficient and provide better value for money. The changes are clear to see - from new businesses and jobs, to improving school results and to museums being recognised for their community engagement.

Shape a better future with us

We’re thrilled to have achieved Investors in People (IIP) Gold status for how we lead, support and develop people. Now we’d like you to be part of our success and help us take change further. Join us on our journey to a brighter future. By working together, with each other and with our communities, we can take pride in improving lives. Let’s make a better Barnsley for everyone.

Your role in our journey

As Post-16 Partnership Manager, you will liaise with learning and skills providers to ensure there are sufficient, appropriate education, training and apprenticeship places for all young people in Barnsley. You will take a key role in commissioning education places for post-16 learners with learning difficulties and/or disabilities and promoting opportunities for vulnerable learners. The role will see you collaborating with colleagues across the council to coordinate the council’s offer of employability experiences for students in the borough’s schools and to lead delivery and monitoring of the Barnsley MBC corporate apprenticeship programme. The role will see you contribute towards Barnsley wide developments, implementation of the Raising Participation and I Know I Can strategy and plans to ensure support to local economic growth.


What you’ll need

To join us, you’ll need a relevant degree and proven experience of working in the post-16 education sector. Your previous experience will have given you a thorough understanding of the legislative and policy frameworks for Post 16 learners including Raising Participation and 14 – 19 (learners with learning difficulties and/or disabilities to 24yrs) education and training. Your leadership experience has enabled you to demonstrate strong inter-personal and communication skills and has given you a good understanding of quality assurance processes. Your passion to improve outcomes for young people all you do.

A lot to look forward to

Here at Barnsley, we live and work by four important values: honesty, teamwork, excellent service, and taking pride in what we do. As part of our team, you can be sure we’ll do all we can to support you in being truly excellent. You see, we prioritise learning and enabling you to achieve your potential. So we’ve created a development process that lets you grow in the way that suits you - whether that’s training to be a leader, or learning flexibly online. That’s one of the reasons why we achieved IIP Gold, and why you’ll find your career here inspiring and rewarding.
