Learning Curve Group are a national training and education specialist we work with further education providers, employers, and learners to help them achieve success. We have strong values which are all centred around our learners – and that is how we believe it should be, as we impact on over 100,000 of them every year. Our ‘Purple People’, the dedicated and passionate people of LCG, help us to deliver success no matter what, to achieve our vision to ‘transform lives through learning’. We deliver a range of contracts funded by the Greater London Authority, designed to help London residents secure sustainable, high-quality employment. A key contractual target is ensuring that at least 60% of clients achieve a “good job” outcome, defined as employment at or above the London Living Wage, with secure and sustainable terms.

The role will involve building strong networks with employers, attending and representing LCG at partnership meetings, engaging with learners, and ensuring all outcome evidence is collected and reported accurately. The postholder will also work closely with internal teams, including our academies, flexible learning, and data teams, to ensure learners are supported into “good jobs” or progression opportunities such as promotions and pay rises.
