Form of work
SalaryHackney is London’s most diverse, dynamic borough. Reaching from the Square Mile to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, this is an area of rapid economic growth, particularly in technology, media, fashion and other creative industries. Hackney has more green spaces than any other inner London borough; some of the capital’s finest schools; first class transport connections; excellent public services; and thriving arts, cultural and retail sectors. We seek people with ambition, creativity and commitment to ensure our economic growth provides benefits for everyone and creates opportunities to transform the lives of residents.
Hackney Council’s Employment Pathways service leads the Council’s work to create and oversee high-quality employment-related opportunities for residents in Hackney. A key component of the service is our Apprenticeships programme, both with the Council as an employer, and with businesses in the borough.
This post holder will be working with the Programme Manager to manage the operational activity for the Council’s award-winning apprenticeship programme, to ensure that the programme delivers good quality apprenticeships and positive progressions for our apprentices, no matter which part of the programme they are engaging in.
We are looking for someone who is a great communicator and is passionate about supporting people, while also able to challenge constructively and successfully manage a number of differing priorities. You should be well organised and knowledgeable about apprenticeship delivery, including ensuring that we are able to recruit the right apprentices into the programmes and be committed to achieving high quality outcomes. Ideally you will have some experience of managing apprenticeships or be willing to learn quickly. We are looking for someone who is a self-starter with a ‘can-do’ attitude who is looking for an opportunity to help shape the next phases of the apprenticeship programme in Hackney.
This is an exciting time to join our team as we develop our apprenticeship offer further to meet the changing needs of the council. You will be working closely with colleagues in Employment & Skills to play a key part in achieving transformative outcomes for Hackney residents. This role is an opportunity to really make a difference in people’s lives and will be rewarding to the right candidate. Appointment to this post is subject to enhanced vetting checks.
At Hackney, we go that extra mile for our people; we offer a work environment which is stimulating, fast moving and supportive, giving you the chance to use your skills and develop new ones within a high profile organisation.

Hackney Council works to eradicate discrimination on the basis of race, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, pregnancy and maternity, age and marital status. We also recognise that people can be disadvantaged by their social and economic circumstances, so we will also work to eliminate discrimination and disadvantage caused by social class. We also welcome those interested in flexible working. We particularly welcome applications from disabled people, as this group is currently under represented in our workforce.
