Apollo Health & Social Care Placement Coordinator (Fixed Term)
Within the range of £29,427 to £31,386 per annum
Up to 37 hours per week; full-time, part-time, term-time and flexible hours will be considered for this position. Please provide your preferred hours within the person specification section in your application.
Fixed term to 30th September 2025. This is an exciting opportunity to share your professional knowledge and expertise in order to support our Health and Social Care learners and aspiring Health & Social Care professionals achieve in their chosen field through the Apollo Project, with Suffolk New College. Apollo is an NHS East of England project run in conjunction with the Integrated Care Board and aims to support recruitment and retention within the Health & Social Care sector through a range of themes. To meet the objectives of the Apollo project, you will work alongside the Health and Social Care teaching staff and Suffolk New College’s Projects team. You will work both onsite at the college and in placement settings with learners and employers, where you will be required to support and guide learners with a particular emphasis on employability skills development. In addition to this, you will be responsible for the organising of work placements, requiring strong planning skills, IT literacy, and the interpersonal and communication skills to work collaboratively with employers. The College currently has over 50 employers who offer work placement opportunities to our Health & Social Care learners. We are keen to hear from you if you can demonstrate enthusiasm and passion for Health and Social Care and have the ability to encourage and inspire young people. Ideally you should have relevant and up-to-date industry experience supported by a Level 3 qualification in a relevant field, along with a Level 2 qualification (or equivalent) in Maths and English. In return we can offer you a team environment that is committed to giving our learners the best experience possible to enable them to work competently and confidently out in industry. If you are looking to move into education as part of your career plan, or if you have industry related skills and experience which could be transferrable, providing you are the right candidate for the job, we will provide you with an excellent level of support to guide you through your career development. Due to the nature of this role access to personal transport is essential in order to travel to learners' workplaces. If using your own vehicle, it is a requirement for your car insurance to cover business use and evidence of this will be requested by finance before any travel claims are paid. Suffolk New College is a multi-campus site therefore you may be required to work at and travel between campuses. At Suffolk New College, we promote the culture of BeSNC. Implementing BeSNC is not just a choice; it's a commitment to providing the best possible environment for our learners to thrive. It's a commitment to nurturing an inclusive and supportive community where each student, staff and community member can reach their full potential. Closing date:
