About the Role
Camden STEAM is a high-profile partnership bringing together schools, employers and communities to prepare young people for the future of work across science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics. We are seeking an Inclusive Pathways and Participation Manager to ensure young people from under-represented groups and those facing barriers can access meaningful work experience, industry placements and employer-led opportunities.
You will work closely with employers, schools, specialist education settings and services across Camden to create high-quality, inclusive opportunities. A key part of your role will be supporting young people who may require additional or tailored support, including care-experienced young people, those in the Youth Justice System, young people with SEND and EHCPs, young carers, disabled young people, school non-attenders and those at risk of becoming NEET.
You will build strong relationships with employers to develop inclusive placement practices while collaborating with schools and partners to identify young people, remove barriers and provide the right support before, during and after placements. You will also contribute to the growth of Camden STEAM’s work experience programme and the wider ambition to increase high-quality employer-led opportunities borough-wide.
This role offers an exciting opportunity to combine partnership working, programme delivery and specialist inclusion expertise to make a tangible difference to young people’s progression and future employment opportunities.

Experience
Proven experience developing inclusive education, careers or employment opportunities for young people. Experience working across education, transition and employment pathways, particularly with young people with SEND and those from under-represented groups. Experience coordinating work experience, industry placements or employer-led programmes.

About you
A proactive and collaborative professional with strong relationship-building skills across schools, employers and public services. Ability to influence stakeholders at various levels, including senior industry leaders, and convert partnerships into meaningful opportunities for young people. Strong project and programme management skills, excellent communication skills, and a genuine commitment to inclusive opportunity and improving outcomes for young people.

Qualifications
Not explicitly stated, but relevant experience and skills in inclusive education, careers or employment pathways are essential.
