At Argyle Community Trust, we are proud of our existing apprenticeship and employability programmes
and the benefits that they bring to individuals in our local communities. We are now looking to further
develop and expand our programme by appointing a Partnerships and Compliance Lead to support our
Apprenticeship and Employability programmes. The post holder will be responsible for the recruitment
and retention of apprentices and will support with the recruitment of participants on our employability
programmes. In addition, a key aspect of the role will be to consolidate partnerships with current
stakeholders and expand our offer to potential new partners and organisations. Therefore, we would expect
the successful candidate to have strong organisational, networking and communication skills as well as
current knowledge and understanding of post 16 educational pathways and apprenticeship routes.

Working with our dedicated Employment and Education team, the candidate must have experience of
supporting in a range of contexts and settings, including schools and/or further education, a good working
knowledge of Careers Information, Advice and Guidance (CIAG) and a commitment to promoting the
benefits of education through vocational programmes. Improving and developing our current CIAG offer
in order to signpost our learners to exciting future pathways and career development opportunities is also
an important aspect of this post. As a registered charity, the Trust works in close conjunction with Plymouth
Argyle Football Club; with many partners across several sectors including schools and colleges; with
organisations where sport has proven to be the ideal tool for creating lasting engagement with individuals
and across both Devon and Cornwall.
