At Swindon Borough Council, we want our town to be the best it can be. Our ambitious vision in the new Swindon Plan is supported by realistic transformation programmes, with the people of Swindon at their heart. Because that’s who we’re doing it for – the communities and businesses that make our town great. As part of the Council, you’ll support a friendly local authority making decisions with real impact. It’s all for better public services. Better processes. And a better quality of life, for everyone. Join us, and Swindon will be better with you.
We are looking for an experienced and inspirational team leader to take the lead on co-ordinating and managing our Supported Employment Programme funded through Connect to Work which offers residents who are economically inactive a structured place and train programme.

You will have the opportunity to have a key role in setting up this exciting programme in Swindon and to work with key stakeholders to join up services across employment, health and other key services.
We are looking for applicants who are passionate about improving outcomes for residents, understand the needs of residents who are economically inactive, particularly those with health needs/disabilities and are able to work effectively with partners to co-ordinate and manage projects to quality requirements, are confident working with employers and have excellent communication skills.
You must be fluent in the English language (as a requirement of Part 7 of the Immigration Act “for the effective performance of a customer-facing role”).
As an employee, you will receive a diverse and exciting environment in which to work, encouraging creativity and innovation whilst recognising the need to support ongoing personal development and a flexible work life balance.
For Swindon to thrive in the future, we need to lay the foundations now. It’s why our regeneration and transformation programmes are already underway. So, you’ll be joining us at an exciting time on our journey. We’ll look to you to share your knowledge, influence decisions and drive real, positive change. With your contributions, we’ll achieve our vision of a prosperous, re-vitalised Swindon together. And you’ll be proud to say it was made better with you.
