About The Role Are you a highly organised team player who thrives in a fast-changing environment?
If you enjoy working with both people and data, and are passionate about delivering excellent customer service, we’d love to hear from you.
We’re looking for an enthusiastic Apprenticeships Officer to join our Apprenticeship compliance team on a full-time basis. This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to the continued success of BU’s award-winning apprenticeship provision rated Outstanding at our last Ofsted inspection.
About The Role
As an Apprenticeships Officer, you’ll provide day-to-day operational and administrative assistance across the full apprenticeship lifecycle – from admissions and onboarding through to end-point assessment, quality assurance and statutory reporting. You’ll play a key part in ensuring that BU maintains high levels of quality and compliance through clear and positive communication with apprentices, employers and BU colleagues involved in apprenticeship delivery.
Key Responsibilities Include:
- Assisting with apprenticeship recruitment, eligibility and onboarding
- Using a range of IT systems to ensure compliance with regulatory bodies
- Maintaining team communication channels, Sharepoint and Teams sites
- Developing and maintaining key relationships with employers, apprentices and BU colleagues
- Assisting with audit and inspection activities
- Providing apprenticeship information and advice to a range of internal and external stakeholders
- Contributing to service improvement by identifying more effective ways of working
- Attending university-wide events where required.
What we’re looking for
You’ll bring strong administrative experience, a questioning mind and a keen eye for detail, along with the ability to manage a varied workload and work to deadlines. You will enjoy learning new things, finding solutions and working with people at all levels. Although previous experience of apprenticeships would be an advantage, applications are encouraged from those who have worked in similar compliance environments and/or can demonstrate the ability to quickly familiarise themselves with complex rules and regulations.
