Regional Lead – North East Midlands

The Careers & Enterprise Company was established in 2015 to help link schools and colleges to employers, in order to increase employer engagement for young people. Our mission is to prepare and inspire young people for the fast-changing world of work.

This is an exciting time at The Careers & Enterprise Company. During our first three years, we have worked with Local Enterprise Partnerships to build a national network which now links 2,000 schools and colleges to employers. We have also funded 150 programmes to provide high-quality employer engagement activities to young people where they are needed most.

Role Summary

The Enterprise Adviser Network is the backbone of the CEC’s operations through which we deliver to all our schools. As a Regional Lead, you will be responsible for the day-to-day oversight, contract management and implementation of the Enterprise Adviser Network (EAN) and Careers Hubs in your area. The Regional Lead will provide advice, support and challenge, working with a range of stakeholders, including the Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEP), Local Authorities (LA) and Combined Authorities (CA) to ensure that the EAN/Careers Hubs are implemented successfully and quickly deliver impact.

The Regional Lead should be proactive in determining what is needed by each local area and acting accordingly, making the Company aware of local needs and solutions.
