Employer Engagement Manager

Permanent - Full time 

Location: Hybrid – Lynton House, Ilford, with travel across the Local London sub-region 

Lead the Shift to an Employer-Led Skills System 

Local London is establishing a new sub regional Sector Hub as part of London’s move toward a more employer led skills and employment system, set out in the Mayor’s Inclusive Talent Strategy and the Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP). 

This is about creating a more coordinated, responsive system — where employer demand shapes provision, pathways and investment decisions, and where residents can better access good jobs. 

The Sector Hub will act as the central coordination function across boroughs, providers, employers and partners, working closely with the GLA, Sector Talent Boards and Pan-London Sector Hubs. 

We are now recruiting an Employer Engagement Manager to lead this work across Local London Sub Region.
