Bristol Future Talent Partnership is a collaboration initiative committed to making Bristol the fairest and most racially equal place in the UK. Recognising the disproportionate challenges faced by Black and minority ethnic communities in education and employment, the Partnership works to remove barriers and raise aspirations.

Focusing on young people aged 14 to 21, Bristol Future Talent Partnership provides opportunities to explore diverse career paths and develop essential skills. Through high-quality work experience placements, career workshops, and networking events, they equip young people with the tools to succeed.

Partnering with leading organisations creates a platform for intergenerational learning and growth. This provides young people with valuable experience and brings fresh perspectives and diverse talent to partner organisations. The Partnership's mission is to eliminate the systemic inequalities and underrepresentation that have affected Black and minority ethnic communities in Bristol.

The organisation is seeking an Operations Manager to further advance its mission and expand its reach.
