You will be responsible for developing, delivering and maintaining a key educational programme in the Hull area, ensuring that through effective stakeholder engagement learners are recruited onto programmes and have an outstanding experience.

The scale and breadth of our curriculum offer is what makes us special.

The Education Coordinator will have responsibility for the coordination, management and development of our AEB funded education provision across the Hull area, and for supporting the delivery of local non-AEB activity.

At the heart of a closely-knit area team, you will support and manage tutors, engage volunteers and local branches, and identify business development opportunities ensuring provision is aligned to funding outcomes and an evidence-based framework. In doing so you will maximize the impact of adult education in your area whilst promoting WEA as the education provider of choice.
