  • Tracking learner progress via OneFile e-portfolio and producing coaching reports and formal reviews
  • Working with IQAs and curriculum leads to contribute to quality and continuous improvement
What We're Looking For
  • Solid technical background in at least one of: Software Development, Data Analysis, or AI/automation
  • Experience in apprenticeship coaching, assessing, or training delivery
  • Good understanding of apprenticeship quality frameworks - Ofsted, EPA readiness, accountability framework
  • Able to explain technical concepts clearly to learners and non-technical stakeholders
  • Teaching qualification (PGCE, CertEd, L4 Teaching, or L3 Assessor Award) - essential
  • L3 IAG (or working towards)
  • Degree or 2+ years' relevant industry experience alongside appropriate technical certifications
  • Functional Skills English and Maths at Level 2 or above
Why Apply?

This is a well-established provider with a strong reputation in IT and digital apprenticeship delivery, a supportive coaching team, and a genuinely flexible remote model. If you're a technically credible coach who wants to deliver cutting edge content and make a real impact on learners, this is a strong opportunity.
