Training Advisor for Jobs Growth Wales + Programmes

Coleg Sir Gâr and Coleg Ceredigion are seeking a Training Advisor to join the Work Based Learning team and support the delivery of Jobs Growth Wales Plus. JGW+ is a Welsh Government-funded programme for young people aged 16 to 19 who are referred through Working Wales. The programme helps young people engage in learning, gain work experience and progress into employment or further learning. The College delivers JGW+ as part of the B-WBL consortium, led by Pembrokeshire College.

The Training Advisor will manage an allocated caseload of approximately 35 to 45 learners and act as a consistent point of contact throughout their programme. The role includes supporting recruitment and referrals, completing learner inductions, agreeing individual targets and monitoring progress, attendance and programme requirements. The postholder will mentor learners, help them address barriers and ensure that wellbeing or safeguarding concerns are identified and referred through the appropriate College procedures.

The postholder will coordinate and deliver centre-based learning and work closely with tutors, assessors and College support services to help learners complete their qualifications and progress. Strong employer engagement is also central to the role. This includes developing employer relationships, securing suitable work experience placements and keeping employers informed about learner progress and attendance, including formal contact at least every 61 days.

The role requires accurate and timely administration. The successful candidate will maintain learner records through Maytas Hub and other digital systems, meet programme deadlines and contribute to JGW+ performance targets, quality processes and the evaluation of work-based learning provision.

This is an opportunity to support young people at an important stage in their development and help them build the skills, confidence and experience needed for their next step.
