Employment Coordinator - FUSE
This post is funded by St James Quarter under the brand area of FUSE. The initial funding is for one year only, but it is anticipated that further long-term funding will be secured for post .
The core job purpose is to support the manager and other support staff in FUSE with the recruitment of clients into jobs available within the St James Quarter and the wider Business Improvement District (city centre area) when relevant or required.
FUSE is a world class retail and hospitality offer setting standards for skills, training, recruitment and career support. FUSE has been established to work across Edinburgh and beyond, connecting people to training courses, accredited qualifications, employers and jobs in both retail and hospitality within St James Quarter but also the rest of the city. St James Quarter opened in bringing approximately 3, new jobs to the city.
The successful candidate will have an operational remit, linking employers with suitable candidates and assisting the FUSE manager and staff with understanding, promoting and filling vacancies on a rolling basis.
Client management of employers will be a key function of the post, creating excellent relationships and making all employers aware of the FUSE offer and building confidence in its ability to support their recruitment.
Through Capital City Partnership, FUSE has access to a wide supply chain of clients who are supported through over 60 organisations and agencies within the Joined up for Jobs network. These clients are given support to become job ready or may be job changers who require additional barrier removal before moving into employment. FUSE is the finishing school part of this, bringing employers closer to job ready clients for a successful transition into work.

Remote/home working is supported when necessary.

Employability Officer - MacMillan Skills Hub
This post is funded by UK Shared Prosperity Funding from the UK Government's allocation to The City of Edinburgh Council. This funding is undergoing a review in /26, and we anticipate a new fund will be available for us to bid into for continuity of the MacMillan Skills Hub post .

We also anticipate that jobs will be available elsewhere, including under the emerging Forth Green Freeport.
The Granton Waterfront Development offers a fresh approach to creating a vibrant, healthy and sustainable coastal quarter in Edinburgh. Granton is at the heart of Edinburgh’s Waterfront and its successful transformation holds the potential to reconnect the city to the Firth of Forth and to build on wider regeneration projects to transform Scotland’s capital into a unique waterfront city. This development will take place over the next 10-15 years and will generate a range of new job opportunities from a variety of employers.
