🚀 Learner Engagement Officer

We’re working with the UK’s largest voluntary sector provider of adult education in England – a charity with deep community roots that’s been changing lives since 1903. Through local partnerships and practical learning, they help adults gain skills, confidence, and new opportunities to move forward in life.

If you’re someone who loves getting out into the community, meeting people, and seeing your work make a real difference, this is a chance to do what you do best within a values-led environment.

The role

You’ll be the bridge between local partners and adult learners across West Yorkshire, ensuring courses are promoted, referrals are consistent, and learners are supported smoothly into the right programmes.

Key responsibilities

• Promote a wide range of adult learning opportunities – from ESOL and functional skills to cooking, confidence-building, and other community-based courses, both accredited and non-accredited
• Build and maintain relationships with referral partners such as Jobcentres, community centres, and local charities to ensure a steady stream of learner referrals
• Recruit and screen learners for eligibility, then hand them over to the enrolment team for onboarding
• Travel across West Yorkshire to meet partners and learners
• Represent the organisation with warmth, professionalism, and care for the people and communities you serve

Who we’d love to speak to

Ideally, you’ll already have experience in a similar role with established connections across West Yorkshire. We’re also open to people with transferable skills – for example, those who’ve worked in learner recruitment, employability, or welfare-to-work roles where you’ve supported people onto courses or into employment.

You’ll need to be outgoing, confident, and tenacious – someone who can get out there, build trust quickly, and embed yourself in the local community as a genuine partner and advocate for lifelong learning.

If you’re ready to join a well-established, purpose-led organisation that values people, flexibility, and community impact, this could be your next chapter. You’ll join a supportive culture that offers gifted holiday days, volunteering opportunities, and mileage and expenses paid from home. A refreshing change from the typical high-pressure, “bums on seats” culture – still target-driven, but with a more people-focused approach that values quality relationships over hard selling.
