Leicester College's Apprenticeship and Commercial Operations Department (APCO) is one of the largest apprenticeship providers in the region with an ambitious vision for delivering gold standard apprenticeship programmes that positively shape the futures of all Leicester College apprentices. We pride ourselves in supporting all colleagues to be the very best.
We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic Apprentice Lead with a passion for the delivery and support of our apprentices on Construction Apprenticeship programmes. The successful candidate will lead a team of staff to facilitate the delivery of Construction programmes, including the designing, compliance, and assessment of a wide range of courses.
As the Apprentice Lead you will have responsibility of overseeing the journey of a group of Apprentices across various craft trades. Similar to a curriculum programme lead, you will teach timetabled sessions on your specific area of expertise for apprenticeship programmes as well as have input on the delivery, quality, and personal and professional development of our Apprentices across a variety of trades. The role will include the onboarding of Apprentices through to the timely completion of end point assessment resulting in successful achievement.
Attitude is key - we want someone who is committed to providing the highest quality service to both apprentices and employers. So, if you are looking for a new challenge or looking for a career change and have the right attitude and skills, then this is your opportunity to join a motivated, creative, and well-resourced department.
What you can expect in return is a caring and friendly place to work where everyone is valued as an individual and where you will have opportunities to access personalised continuous professional development in a positive and supportive environment. The successful candidate will be encouraged to develop their skills so that they can support our apprentices to be highly effective, make good progress and become competent in their chosen career.
