*Advising employers on how to align apprentice projects with commercial objectives
*Tracking learner progress via OneFile e-portfolio and producing coaching reports and formal reviews
*Working with IQAs and curriculum leads to contribute to quality and continuous improvement
What We’re Looking For
*Solid technical background in at least one of: Software Development, Data Analysis, or AI/automation
*Experience in apprenticeship coaching, assessing, or training delivery
*Good understanding of apprenticeship quality frameworks — Ofsted, EPA readiness, accountability framework
*Able to explain technical concepts clearly to learners and non-technical stakeholders
*Teaching qualification (PGCE, CertEd, L4 Teaching, or L3 Assessor Award) — essential
*L3 IAG (or working towards)
*Degree or 2+ years’ relevant industry experience alongside appropriate technical certifications
*Functional Skills English and Maths at Level 2 or above
Why Apply?
This is a well-established provider with a strong reputation in IT and digital apprenticeship delivery, a supportive coaching team, and a genuinely flexible remote model.
