Degree Apprenticeship Workplace Reviewer - Business and Management

This role is employed by University of Derby but works in partnership with Rolls-Royce Submarines Ltd. Due to the nature of work that Rolls-Royce Submarines Ltd conducts and the protection of certain assets, some roles within the Nuclear Skills Academy (NSA) require post-holders to hold a Security Check (SC) clearance.

This role does not currently require SC clearance, and this will not be a condition of appointment to this role. However, please be aware that there may be a future requirement for the successful candidate/s to undertake a SC check should any change in circumstances render this necessary due to development of the NSA over the coming years.

As the Degree Apprenticeship Workplace Reviewer, you will work with the programme team in Business and Management 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 IFA and 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 will act as a personal professional academic tutor for learners and will need to engage actively on working with employers to support learners who have disclosed a need for additional support.

We have one role available, based at the Nuclear Skills Academy; and one role available which will be remote to support the main programme in which apprentices are based nationally. This will be discussed at interview.

You will hold an honours degree, preferably in Business and Management or an equivalent qualification in a related subject, as well as a qualification in work based assessment.

Along with your work experience in the public or private sector organisations in a management or leadership capacity, you will need to have a working knowledge of current and emerging apprenticeship standards, EPA and the Apprenticeship Levy.

You will be personable and have the ability to communicate effectively with a range of different people. You should be committed to equality and diversity and providing a first class customer service to apprentices and employers.

You will be self-motivated with the confidence to work independently and willingness to take on new responsibilities. You will have the ability to build relationships and gain the confidence, respect and co-operation of senior figures both within the organisation and externally.
