About the role

The University of Derby has been at the forefront of vocational and work-based learning for over 10 years delivering industry responsive courses and higher-level skills to local and national businesses and their employees. Building on this success and in light of the creation of new degree Apprenticeship Standards the University has developed and introduced a number of new degree higher Apprenticeships across a range of sectors.

As an Apprenticeship Workplace Reviewer, you will work with the programme team to lead on facilitating reviews between apprentices, employers and liaising with relevant academic staff. Your engagement with employers and their apprentices is foremost to ensuring our existing and future apprenticeship programmes provide an excellent learning experience, meeting employers and apprentice expectations, in line with the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IfATE) and Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) governance requirements for apprenticeship provision.

You will work collaboratively with both academic staff and apprenticeship account managers to ensure systems and process are adhered to and that both quality and compliance is maintained to the highest standard in line with service level agreements. You will organise visits with external clients, apprentices and internal staff to ensure the implementation of quality reviews and assessment of evidence for audit using an e-portfolio.

You should have previous management or supervisory experience, with the proven ability to coordinate activities, support teams, and manage professional relationships effectively. A good working knowledge of higher education and apprenticeship provision is essential, including understanding degree and apprenticeship programmes, funding arrangements, and quality assurance and compliance processes.

Excellent verbal and written communication skills are required, alongside the ability to motivate, engage, and mobilise learners, employers, and academic colleagues.

Principal accountabilities

Lead on liaising with apprentices, external clients and internal academic operations teams to ensure that communication between all parties is recorded in the review process, ensuring the process is managed and completed efficiently and effectively and in line with our service level agreements.

Accountable for managing visits with employers to carry out health and safety checks, assessment of evidence, tripartite reviews. Support the employers to actively participate in the review process offering mentoring support to young learners and small organisations, with a focus on young apprentices as well as those who have declared the need for additional support.

Act as a personal professional academic tutor, supporting and mentoring students as appropriate.

Provide pastoral care to students, referring when necessary to services that provide further support.

Work with the Apprenticeships Hub and Heads of School to facilitate duties that support the achievement of outstanding communication to employers and the learner and client experience.

Provide expert operational advice to Apprenticeship Hub Team to ensure duties that support the achievement of Funding Compliance, whilst enhancing the learner and client experience.

Take a lead role to ensure that appropriate records of reviews are kept and stored securely in accordance with University and external bodies’ audit requirements.

Work collaboratively with the apprenticeship hub team alongside academic staff to support learner engagement and update the employer either face to face or via our e-portfolio system.

Lead responsibility to work with employers and external professional bodies to ensure that there is a process by which suitable evidence is available on the professional body’s career development portal to enable the student to progress and apply for the end point assessment.

Take a lead on collating the Employer and Apprentice review comments to inform programme committees and the University continual monitoring process for quality enhancement.

Lead on producing monthly reports to show compliance, retention and success against given targets.

Ensure that the Intent, Implementation and Impact of the apprenticeship programme is explored in each review and that academic teams are aware of any concerns by the apprentice and/or employer.

Ensure that the apprentice is building a complete portfolio of experience in order to attempt their End Point Assessment (EPA) with apprenticeship guidelines.

Work with the academic team and End-Point Assessment Organisations (EPAOs) to ensure that the apprentice is prepared for their EPA within the apprenticeship guidelines.

Build successful working relationships with key stakeholders across the University, relevant colleagues across the sector and external agencies to ensure expectations are effectively managed.
