We offer Level 7 Degree Apprenticeships which enable employers to invest in the professional development of their employees. This is to the mutual benefit of both the organisation and the individuals.

The successful candidate will help develop and enhance the activities of the School’s apprenticeship provision through mentoring, client relationship management, and supporting the apprentice journey from onboarding activities to End Point Assessment.

Specifically, this post will support apprentices through their apprenticeship, work with companies enrolling participants on degree apprenticeships, and ensure that apprentices are able to fulfil the vocational elements of the apprenticeship. They will also support apprentice onboarding activities and develop individual training plans for the apprentices and monitor the apprentice development against these plans with the workplace mentors and academic teams. Ensure that apprentices maintain appropriate evidence and that both informal and contractual ongoing reporting is completed.
