At the moment we are especially looking for: additional staff in the North West, in particular to help deliver a project in Greater Merseyside, in Yorkshire and in London. # North West The initial focus of this work will be in Greater Merseyside but there will also be opportunities to become involved in other parts of the region too. The Network has an existing capacity building project with Greater Merseyside LSC which will include a range of activities between now and March 2004. We are looking for additional staff to lead the planning and organisation of provider seminars on workplace basic skills with the support of the regional events team and to negotiate and take forward a new initiative for a learner forum on workplace basic skills. This will include residential events for learners and the collection and editing of student writing about their experiences. Part of the role will also include working with the National Development Manager in liaising with the LSC staff team with interests in this project. # Yorkshire In the first instance the priority in this region will be to continue work with existing partners in South Yorkshire to plan and implement activities which follow on from a Regional Development Agency project which finished in April this year, including support with funding proposals. The second stage of the work will be to work with the National Development Manager to expand our strategy and activities into other areas in Yorkshire. # London The Network has managed a complex project in London with 24 partners over the last twelve months and has plans in place for a final provider seminar on October 30th. A continuation project is currently being shaped by the Regional Development Agency with a number of potential partners and further detail about this is expected to be available by the end of October. The Network is looking for part-time staff to work with the National Development Manager on new opportunities linked to last year's project.
