We deliver our Apprenticeship programmes virtually, holding training and coaching sessions using video conferencing technology. As such, this will be a home based role and we are flexible on the location of the successful applicant. We have opportunities for both experienced Apprenticeship Assessors and those with no previous experience who are looking for a career change.

Apprenticeships are evolving and as an employer provider, we are dedicated to providing the highest quality training and support to all of our learners. As part of this vision, we’re looking for inspiring and enthusiastic individuals to join us.

We currently deliver programmes from Level 2 to Level 5 including; Trade Supplier, Sales, Warehousing, Fitted Furniture Design, Retail Manager, Team Leader and Operations Manager. As an Apprenticeship Coach, you will be responsible for the delivery of one of our programmes, allowing you to get really close to that business area and become a true expert in the content. 

In this role, you will play a vital part in ensuring that all our Apprentices experience a positive learning environment that’s structured and progressive, and centred around them. On a day to day basis you will;

• Support the development of the programme

• Deliver knowledge and skills based webinars to small groups of learners

• Keep accurate records on all learners in line with quality standards

• Support, advise and motivate learners having good coaching conversations that challenge thinking and motivate change

• Provide support and guidance to Managers in how to develop apprentices, using influencing and persuading skills to develop Managers that may be more experienced than you

• Have a passion for developing others

• Are able to build strong relationships with individuals at all levels of an organisation

• Are confident in providing feedback in a live environment

• Has strong communication skills and is easily able to engage an audience

We are looking for both experienced Apprenticeship Assessors, and individuals who are looking to change careers to a role where they can help individuals develop themselves.
