Role Description

As the UK’s only exclusively postgraduate university, Cranfield’s world-class expertise, large-scale facilities and unrivalled industry partnerships is creating leaders in technology and management globally.  Our distinctive expertise is in our deep understanding of technology and management and how these work together to benefit the world.

Our people are our most valuable resource and everyone has a role to play in shaping the future of our university, developing our learners, and transforming the businesses we work with. Learn more about Cranfield and our unique impact here. Our shared, stated values help to define who we are and underpin everything we do: Ambition; Impact; Respect; and Community. Find out more here.

The core responsibility of these roles is to proactively support the Mastership team and the other members of the wider team who are based in Schools and other Professional Service Units across the university, as well as maintaining high quality contact with apprentices and employers.

This role is an exciting opportunity for individuals who have an eye for detail and a ‘can do’ attitude towards establishing new and continually improving processes. You will have a passion for education, development and helping learners achieve their potential via apprenticeships. You will champion the use of technology to underpin and evidence the apprentices learning and support the journey towards successful apprenticeship completion.

You will have sound knowledge of Data Protection Regulations and be experienced in co-ordinating with key industrial partners. Experience of working within an Apprenticeship or Higher Education environment and have awareness of learner support needs would be advantageous. You will be able to work well under pressure to meet deadlines, while balancing competing priorities without comprising your attention to detail.

At Cranfield we value Diversity and Inclusion, and aim to create and maintain a culture in which everyone can work and study together harmoniously with dignity and respect and realise their full potential.

Our equal opportunities and diversity monitoring has shown that minority ethnic groups are currently underrepresented within the university and so we actively encourage applications from eligible candidates from these groups. 

We actively consider flexible working options such as part-time, compressed or flexible hours and/or an element of homeworking, and commit to exploring the possibilities for each role. Find out more here.
