Have you worked at a senior level within employability but fancy a more strategic, less hands-on management role? This position involves leading quality and compliance across a range of supported employment contracts in Manchester, giving you the chance to make a real impact in the role—there’s plenty to do! The team is eager to speak with senior leaders looking to transition into quality and compliance, or those already in quality and compliance within employability or skills.


It’s a hybrid role, with 2 days typically working from home and 3 days in the office in Stockport. You will be responsible for overseeing multiple supported employment contracts. Key tasks include:

*Conducting quality audits across contracts to review processes and procedures, identifying areas of success and potential improvement.
*Ensuring each contract aligns with SEQF framework standards.
*Creating training sessions and workshops for staff, focusing on areas needing improvement, such as data management, action planning, and client assessments.
*Producing performance reports for the senior management team on contract outcomes.
*Acting as one of the charity’s safeguarding leads.
*Establishing a steering group to drive quality enhancement.

Please note, while this is a quality and compliance role, candidates with a background in management within employability or skills are encouraged to apply. Many of the core responsibilities may be familiar to you, and there is opportunity to learn and grow in the quality and compliance aspects.
