The University of Salford is committed to delivering high-quality and compliant apprenticeships. We recognise that apprentices have different needs and work to ensure they all receive outstanding learning experiences enabling them to reach their potential. We build highly effective partnerships with employers and key stakeholders.

Due to expansion we wish to appoint a Learning and Development Coach (Apprenticeships) who will strengthen our student support team. The appointee will join our dedicated apprenticeship team and the primary role will be to regularly engage with and support our Apprentices as they navigate their working and learning journey towards their degree and professional accreditation goals. We particularly welcome applications from those with a Civil Engineering, Surveying or Construction background.

We want to employ people who embrace diversity and appreciate the importance of enabling every individual to succeed. We want you to be passionate about your role in enabling us to provide high-quality and compliant apprenticeships that prepare all our apprentices for occupational competence, successful careers and making a difference.

Main responsibilities…

Maintain familiarity with relevant professional body requirements and support apprentices to meet programme requirements.

Ensure apprentices have a thorough understanding of their Gateway and end point assessment (EPA), how the on-programme element prepares them for this and support them through to successful completion.

Plan, deliver and evaluate formal and informal information sessions on apprenticeship and work- based learning for apprentices, staff, and work-based supervisors/assessors/mentors.

Organise, attend and document regular tripartite progress review meetings for apprentices to address apprenticeship requirements including industry and professional body obligations.

Give advice on academic programme structure to apprentices and employers in relation to the relationship between academic and industry aspects of apprenticeship.

A bit about the School of Science, Engineering & Environment (SEE)…

The school aims to transform the quality of life for society and the well-being of future generations through a better and more sustainable future, offering students programmes from Architecture to Zoology. 

Industry collaboration is at the core of what we do. This is combined with a passion for research and finding solutions to real world problems and those that we may face in the future.  Our work is truly interdisciplinary with a strong focus on developing our knowledge for our colleagues as well as students.

The University’s Campus Masterplan includes three new buildings for the SEE School and marks a real step change in our ability to deliver world leading research and innovation.  The SEE School itself will have a brand-new dedicated building that will house many of our colleagues under one roof, a new ERDF funded Robotics Centre, as well as our ‘Energy House 2.0’ – an unrivalled environment to develop future energy saving products.
