Further details about the role
We are looking for a dynamic, inspirational individual who is forward thinking and committed to developing the service. Ideally you will have a working knowledge of Ofsted and ESFA requirements relating to apprenticeships, functional skills and End Point Assessment along with a good understanding of the Individual Learning Records System. Experience of working in a similar role in an organisational with Apprenticeship Provider status is desirable.
The Apprenticeship Operations Manager will develop, implement and oversee our apprenticeship programme, leading on plans to ensure compliance with Ofsted’s framework and be ESFA audit ready. The apprenticeships will be for both our own schools as a MAT but also the wider education, so employer engagement within and beyond our own organisation will be pivotal. You will work closely with the CEO of Spencer Academies Trust and the senior leadership of the Spencer Alliance for Leadership and Teaching to ensure successful delivery of apprenticeships in order to maximise the achievement of outcomes and deliver the performance expectations of employers.
The suitable applicant will be friendly and organised with excellent time management and prioritisation skills. As an enthusiastic team player you would enjoy both the challenge and reward of encouraging, developing and inspiring staff to maximise their potential.
