All about our Team

The EET Service is a passionate, supportive and innovative team committed to improving life chances for young people across Peterborough.

We work with schools, colleges, training providers, employers, social care teams, health services and community organisations to ensure every young person has access to the support and opportunities they need. We combine effective data intelligence with practical youth-focused interventions, helping young people overcome barriers and progress into positive destinations.

Our culture is built on collaboration, continuous improvement and a genuine commitment to making a difference. We celebrate success, support one another and constantly seek new ways to improve services for young people and families. Whether we're delivering statutory tracking responsibilities, developing new initiatives or influencing strategic priorities, our focus remains the same: helping young people thrive.

All about You

We're looking for someone who is naturally curious, organised and motivated by making a positive impact.

You'll be someone who can combine attention to detail with strong communication skills.

You will be confident working with data, investigating issues and using information to make informed decisions. You'll be organised, able to manage competing priorities and comfortable working both independently and as part of a team.

We are particularly interested in candidates who have experience of maintaining accurate records, using databases or management information systems, and working in customer-facing environments. Experience of working with young people, education providers or advice and guidance services would be an advantage, but is not essential.

Most importantly, you'll have the determination to find solutions, the resilience to manage challenges and the ability to build effective working relationships with a range of partners and stakeholders.
