Are you passionate about improving people’s lives through early‑intervention support? Do you thrive in a role where collaboration, innovation, and impact are at the heart of everything you do? Join us at the Lancashire Skills and Employment Hub as we deliver WorkWell — a pioneering, nationally expanding programme that transforms the way individuals with health conditions access the support they need to start, stay, and succeed in work.

What you’ll be doing

• Leading the day‑to‑day delivery and oversight of the WorkWell programme across Lancashire, ensuring high‑quality, person‑centred services.
• Managing performance, risks, and reporting — including highlight reports, data insights, and recommendations for continuous improvement.
• Building strong partnerships with employers, delivery partners, ICB teams, DWP, and wider stakeholders to drive integration and successful outcomes.
• Overseeing contracts, KPIs, budgets, quality assurance, and compliance across the programme.
• Leading communications activity including events, case studies, digital content, and ongoing engagement with partners and communities of practice.

What we’re looking for

• Proven experience managing complex projects or programmes, ideally within employability, health, or skills settings.
• Strong relationship‑building skills with the ability to influence senior stakeholders and collaborate across organisations.
• Excellent communication, analytical, and organisational skills — comfortable interpreting data, producing reports, and presenting with confidence.
• A proactive and adaptable problem‑solver with the ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities.
• Knowledge of employment and skills policy, particularly DWP and local labour‑market considerations, with a commitment to equality, inclusion, and high‑quality service delivery.
