Centre Co-ordinator
UCS Group
Salary: £26,758 – £28,470 per annum (Scale 5) plus defined benefit pension scheme
Working Hours: 37 hours per week, all year round, Permanent
Job Purpose
Every successful programme needs an organised, dependable hub at its centre — and for the Clean Energy TEC, that hub is the Centre Co-ordinator. This is the person who keeps a nationally significant programme running smoothly day to day: coordinating learners, employers and partners, keeping records and finances in good order, and making sure everyone who comes
into contact with the TEC experiences a professional, well-run operation.
UCS College Group has recently been awarded the prestigious Clean Energy Technical Excellence College status — one of only five in England — recognising its leadership in developing the workforce needed for clean energy infrastructure, advanced engineering and netzero delivery. This is a genuinely exciting time to join UCS, which supports the UK’s clean energy
transition including the “first-in-a-generation” new nuclear build at Hinkley Point C (HPC) and the new Agratas battery gigafactory.
Reporting to the Assistant Director: Clean Energy TEC, the Centre Co-ordinator will provide firstclass coordination and administrative support across the programme and its hub-and-spoke network. It is a busy, varied and people-facing role for someone with excellent organisational skills, strong attention to detail and a genuine ‘can-do’ attitude — someone who takes pride in a well-run operation and wants to be part of something that matters.
On a daily basis you will be part of a motivated, ambitious team, working within the context of Europe’s largest clean energy construction project and the UK’s net-zero mission, through a large FE college that is producing extraordinary results. Flexibility and a willingness to work across sites will be required as the programme grows.

To meet and greet learners and visitors attending TEC facilities, ensuring all safeguarding and learner documentation is accurately recorded and tracked.
To coordinate and allocate facility and room bookings from initial enquiry through to evaluation, and to schedule course bookings, trainers and resources for relevant activities.
To support the onboarding and coordination of delivery partners, spokes and employers engaged with the programme, and to work with training providers to coordinate successful use of TEC facilities and resources.

To use a range of computer packages to produce documentation to corporate standards, and to undertake accurate minute-taking.
To provide administrative support for the shared digital platform and TEC resources, and to maintain stocks of course information, marketing materials and stationery.
To handle sensitive, confidential and commercially sensitive information appropriately and in accordance with College policies and procedures.

To collate, analyse and produce reports on network activity, facility utilisation, learner participation, employer engagement and TEC outcomes to support performance monitoring and reporting to funders.

To organise and support College, network and stakeholder events, including the annual Clean Energy Inspire Conference and network workshops, and to arrange hospitality, room bookings and car parking.
