The Exciting Role
RIPP stands for ‘Regional Improvement Plan Pilot’.

What You Will Be Doing:
- Working with employers, external agencies and community representatives to support recruitment for the residential childcare provision across Lancashire and South Cumbria
- Develop and manage partner and employer relationships
- Promoting the sector and working with a range of stakeholders to maximise recruitment and attract individuals to residential childcare
- Analysing data and supporting the preparation of reports for submission

- Experience of data analysis and reporting
What We Offer in Return:
- Generous annual leave entitlement increasing to a maximum of 28 days (with service), plus Bank Holidays and closure days – totalling 41 days per year
- Access to a workplace pension scheme – with employer contributions of 5%
- Enhanced occupational sick pay scheme and access to family friendly policies and benefits
- A range of health and wellbeing benefits and support
