Grade 6 - £27,025 to £33,199 dependent on experience

As one of the leading universities for Higher and Degree Apprenticeships we are looking to appoint a Work Based Learning Coach to support the delivery of vocational degree learning in our Department of Management.

You will join a dynamic team of dedicated staff to enhance a high quality apprenticeship journey by working with academic experts and professional staff at the University and a diverse employer client base.

Possessing excellent communication skills and the ability to work with people from a variety of business and organisation situations you will have recent demonstrable experience of supporting learning using coaching and mentoring skills. You will also have experience of engaging with employers as customers and active partners in the training and development of post 16 learning.

You will be required to undertake frequent and regular progress reviews with apprentices and their employers, conducted digitally, via telephone and often in the Apprentice's workplace to support the apprenticeship journey and the University's compliance with funding rules and good practice in vocational learning at higher levels. You will engage with the course teams to enhance your discipline knowledge and use your organisational strengths to support the delivery of work-based learning modules on campus.

A strong customer focus, attention to detail and accuracy are essential for this role. Experience of working unsupervised including planning and prioritising own workload, dealing with conflicting deadlines and ensuring deadlines are met, is a must.

You must be able to drive and have a full UK valid driving license. This role requires you to be able to plan and undertake substantial travel to visit employer client sites.
