Description
Due to significant growth, Skills for Security, the leading provider of apprenticeships to the Fire and Security sector are looking to recruit an enthusiastic, knowledgeable and passionate Learner Skills Coach on a full-time basis to support in the delivery of Customer Service, Business Administration and Team Leader/Supervisor apprenticeship standards.
Reporting to the Head of Apprenticeships, you will be given ownership of your own caseload of circa 40 learners and will be responsible for supporting them from initial enquiry through to End Point Assessment (EPA). You will be required to work within the requirements of the apprenticeship funding rules ensuring compliance whilst delivering an outstanding learning experience in line with the requirements of the Education Inspection Framework (EIF) and corresponding Ofsted inspection handbook.
