About you:

We are looking to appoint a new member of the team with contemporary experience on Built Environment Standards to organise and undertake training (employer, apprentice and assessor) assessments and to provide progress reports in line with university and governmental policies. There will be an expectation that the assessor will undertake tripartite assessment for other apprenticeship routes as required in the future.

It is anticipated that the successful candidate will have a high level of experience on different aspects of degree apprenticeship both on operation and quality assurance, e.g. pre‑assessment, creating a training plan and assessing the apprentice progress while working closely with the academic team and employers. The knowledge of off‑the‑job training and funding rules is essential. Applicants must additionally hold a recognised assessor qualification and have an understanding of undergraduate and postgraduate degree apprenticeship and their differences from L3, 4 and 5 qualifications.
