The Code of Practice on the English language requirement for public sector workers, Part 7 of the Immigration Act 2016 requires that Councils ensure that all candidates applying for customer facing posts must be assessed in order to establish their fluency in English.

Bradford Council and its partners have recently secured European Social Fund funding to run two projects that will transform the lives of young people Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET) and support them into either employment or education.

The West Yorkshire Combined Authority Employment Hub programme is an exciting opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of some of our most disadvantaged young people. These posts are part funded through the European Social Fund.

We are looking for four talented individuals who are skilled at engaging with young people, local communities and employers to connect young people with the many opportunities available in the local area and enable our businesses to meet their skills needs in particular through the uptake of Apprenticeships. Your ability to provide ongoing support and advice to both young people and employers will be critical in this role.
