Are you an organised Apprenticeship Coordinator, Apprenticeship Administrator, Learner Recruitment Officer or Compliance professional looking for a part-time role within the employability and skills sector?

This is an exciting opportunity to support the smooth recruitment and onboarding of new apprenticeship learners, while helping strengthen relationships with employers and training partners.

The role combines learner recruitment, onboarding, administration, compliance and stakeholder engagement, making it ideal for someone who enjoys working across different areas of apprenticeship delivery and wants to make a direct contribution to learner outcomes.

This is not a traditional business development role. While you will support employer engagement and help identify opportunities, the focus is on building positive relationships rather than high-pressure sales or cold-business development.

Our client is a UK charity creating learning opportunities through education, vocational skills, community engagement and maritime heritage.

The organisation delivers programmes designed to widen participation and create meaningful opportunities for learners to develop practical and vocational skills.

As the organisation continues to develop its learning provision, this role will play an important part in creating a more streamlined and effective journey from learner recruitment and onboarding through to programme participation and progression.

As the Apprenticeship Recruitment & Onboarding Coordinator, you will support the end-to-end recruitment and onboarding process for new learners while providing effective administrative and compliance support across apprenticeship provision.

You will work closely with learners, employers, training providers and internal colleagues to ensure new apprentices are recruited efficiently, fully onboarded and ready to begin their learning journey.

• Coordinate and streamline the recruitment and onboarding process for new apprenticeship learners.
• Support learner enquiries, applications, enrolment and associated administration.
• Ensure learner records and documentation are accurate, complete and maintained appropriately.
• Support compliance checks and ensure required information is captured throughout the recruitment process.
• Liaise with training providers and relevant stakeholders to coordinate learner onboarding.
• Engage with new and existing employers to support apprenticeship opportunities and maintain positive relationships.
• Help identify potential employer opportunities without a focus on high-volume or hard-sales business development.
• Provide clear information and guidance to learners and employers throughout the onboarding journey.
• Monitor recruitment activity and help identify opportunities to improve processes and conversion.
• Support learner engagement and progression once apprentices have joined the programme.
• Assist with events, outreach and promotional activities where required.
• Maintain accurate records and contribute to reporting and project administration.
• Support safeguarding, equality, diversity and other organisational requirements.
• Work collaboratively with colleagues to ensure a positive learner and employer experience.

We are looking for someone who is highly organised, commercially aware and comfortable working across administration, compliance and learner recruitment.

You could come from an apprenticeship, training provider, further education, employability or education administration background.

You will ideally have:

• Experience working within apprenticeships, education, training or vocational learning.
• Experience…
