About us:

With over 6,000 aspiring students, 450 staff and 60 outstanding academic programmes across four departments, the Faculty of Environment and Technology is characterised by innovative teaching, ground-breaking research and highly employable graduates with sound practical skills, cutting-edge academic knowledge and strong professional expertise.

As one of the largest centres in the UK for teaching and research in Engineering, Computer Science, Architecture and Natural Environment disciplines, our approach consistently earns excellent approval ratings from the highest authorities. We are also the academic home for the Bristol Robotics Laboratory, bringing together the best expertise from industry and the academic community to drive the UK's ambition to be a world leader in advanced robotics.

Further details about the Faculty can be found at www.uwe.ac.uk/et.

About you:

We are looking to appoint a new member of the team with contemporary experience on Built Environment Standards to organise and undertake training (employer, apprentice and assessor) assessments and to provide progress reports in line with university and governmental policies. There will be an expectation that the assessor will undertake tripartite assessment for other apprenticeship routes as required in the future.

It is anticipated that the successful candidate will have a high level of experience on different aspects of degree apprenticeship both on operation and quality assurance e.g. pre-assessment, creating training plan and assessing the apprentice progress working closely with academic team and employers. The knowledge of off-the-job training and funding rules is essential. Applicants must additionally hold a recognised assessor qualification and have an understanding of undergraduate and postgraduate degree apprenticeship and their differences from L3, 4 and 5 qualifications.

Based at Frenchay Campus, this post is permanent and full time and not available on a job share basis.
