Reporting to the Director of Apprenticeships, the Degree Apprenticeship Tutor (Skills Coach) will support the professional development of apprentices enrolled on Liverpool Hope’s Level 6 Degree Apprenticeships. The appointee will develop and maintain a relationship with the apprentices and their employers, by carrying out monthly reviews and regular tripartite progress reviews. The primary goal is to provide the apprentices with coaching support, in order to promote and track their engagement with the programme, in line with the apprenticeship standard. The Degree Apprenticeship Skills Coach, the apprentice, and the employer will work together to integrate academic study with the specific responsibilities of the apprentice’s work role. To this end, the Degree Apprenticeship Skills Coach will demonstrate a sound understanding of the apprenticeship standard, will be familiar with the Degree Apprenticeship programme in question, and will have specialist experience in one or more of the taught subject areas.

The post holders will ensure that the employer and apprentice experience is positive and consistent across our Apprenticeship programmes and that their ongoing feedback drives continuous improvement.

It is essential that you can demonstrate an up-to-date knowledge of apprenticeship requirements in Higher Education, fully understand the requirements of IfATE, and have detailed/sound knowledge of the Apprenticeship Accountability Framework, Ofsted, OfS.
