We are looking for an Assistant Delivery Manager – Place Based Development to join our Employment, Skills, Health and Communities Directorate. This is a fast-moving, hands-on role where insight, relationships and action matter in equal measure.
You’ll work with a caseload of Learning Organisations delivering Skills Funding Programmes across the West Midlands. Your job is to understand how those programmes are performing, what the data is telling us, and what needs to change to ensure funding delivers real impact for local communities.
You’ll spend a lot of time working with Excel, dashboards, provider data and economic and labour market intelligence, turning numbers into insight and insight into action.
This isn’t a desk-only role. You’ll be out with providers and local authorities, asking the right questions, spotting risks early and helping delivery partners improve. You’ll be close to delivery, close to data and close to impact. The work you do will directly influence how public funding is used and how well skills provision meets local need across the West Midlands.
What you’ll be doing.

Using Artificial Intelligence (AI)
We cannot stop anyone from using AI to help write application content. Used right, it can be a great tool. If you choose to use AI, then use it as a helper rather than relying on it wholly to write your application.
Applications that rely too heavily on AI may be rejected during shortlisting. For help on how to write a supporting statement, please visit the FAQs section of our careers site.

We’re a Disability Confident Employer with ‘Leader’ status, committed to interviewing applicants with disabilities who meet all the essential role criteria.
We are also proud to be a Ban the Box employer, which means we do not ask about criminal convictions at the initial application stage, and will only ask after an offer is made as part of our onboarding checks, which helps us remove barriers for people with past convictions and supporting fair opportunities for all.
We recognise that certain groups, such as women and people of colour, may be less likely to apply for roles if they feel they do not meet all the requirements. However, we encourage individuals who are passionate about the role and want to make a difference to still apply. We value potential and encourage applicants to highlight their skills, including transferable ones, even if they don't fit the traditional "perfect candidate" mould.
