Job overview

Tackling unemployment and raising skills in Brent

Brent Council has recently carried out a fundamental review of its employment, skills and adult learning services, all of which play an important role in tackling unemployment and raising skills levels across the borough. The review sought to determine how the services could be reshaped to meet a complex range of policy, financial and operational challenges, including:

  • strengthening the focus on employment outcome
  • reducing levels of economic and social inequality across the borough
  • achieving excellence in standards of teaching and learning
  • promoting financial sustainability
  • improving the way we deliver our services for adult learners

As a result of the review, the council decided to set up a single, high profile Employment and Skills Service that will bring together the council’s range of employment, enterprise and adult education services and promote joined-up delivery of the council’s skills and employment priorities.
