Job Overview
Following internal promotion, we are looking for an experienced Apprentice Development Coach to join our team. The successful candidates will play a key role in supporting the apprenticeship journey for learners and employers. The role focuses on pastoral support, mentoring, and monitoring apprentice progress, ensuring that learners successfully complete their apprenticeships.
While teaching and learning will be conducted by subject matter experts, it is the Development Coach’s responsibility to ensure apprentices stay on track, complete required assessments, and are signposted to the appropriate training sessions to cover any knowledge gaps.
This is a field-based role, with your home as your office, but will require travel to employer sites with occasional overnight stays to work efficiently. The post will receive a company vehicle.
Duties
- Manage a caseload of apprentices throughout their apprenticeship journey.
- Conduct monthly progress checks, ensuring coverage of apprenticeship fundamentals, including safeguarding, British values, health and safety, and learner wellbeing.
- Carry out inductions and progress reviews with learners and employers, addressing any concerns and implementing individualised learning plans.
- Monitor how learners apply newly acquired skills in their daily roles and ensure Off-The-Job (OTJ) logs are maintained.
- Set clear objectives to support timely progression, identifying slow progress and implementing action plans to ensure successful completion.
- Liaise with lecturers to schedule learners into appropriate sessions based on their needs.
- Support learners throughout their journey, ensuring they are well-prepared for final exams and End-Point Assessment (EPA).
- Review and provide feedback on learner progress, ensuring milestones are met in preparation for final assessments.
- Identify at-risk learners and implement appropriate interventions to prevent failure at Gateway and assessment stages.
- Work closely with the delivery team to ensure effective communication and learner support.
Requirements
- Excellent communication and organisational skills.
- Ability to understand and work within apprenticeship frameworks, supporting learners to meet programme requirements.
- Strong attention to detail and ability to record learner progress effectively.
- Passion for supporting and developing learners, helping them achieve successful career progression.
If you are passionate about building relationships and driving success through effective account management, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.
