Apprenticeship Coach (Police Constable) 0.5FTE / 18.5 hours per week

at  Sheffield Hallam University

Sheffield Hallam University is a leading university for Higher and Degree Apprenticeships and we have an ambitious strategy to deliver outstanding outcomes for our students. That means ensuring that we provide high quality, innovative and impactful careers and employability services and a cutting-edge employer facing provision.
As an Apprenticeship Coach, you will join a dynamic team of dedicated staff to enhance a high-quality apprenticeship journey by working with academic experts and professional staff at the University and a diverse employer client base. Specifically, you will be supporting apprentices on Policing and working alongside a number of high-profile employers. You will also be engaging with the course teams to enhance your discipline knowledge and use your organisational strengths to support the delivery of work-based learning modules on campus.
Your role will be to undertake frequent and regular progress reviews with apprentices and their employers, conducted digitally, via telephone and in the Apprentice’s workplace to support the apprenticeship journey and the University’s compliance with funding rules and good practice in vocational learning at higher levels.
Travel will be required to visit employer locations both in Sheffield and further afield across the UK at times so the ability to travel independently is needed.
We are looking for someone who has experience of working in the relevant sector, but we do not require you to have registered status with any specific professional body. Recent demonstrable experience of supporting learning using coaching and mentoring skills is also essential. You will also have excellent communication skills and the ability to work with people from a variety of business and organisation situations.
At Sheffield Hallam, we are committed to building a great university and an outstanding environment in which to study, research, and work. We value the contribution of our staff every day, in terms of their commitment, passion, delivery and sheer hard work. In return we offer a range of fantastic rewards and benefits, challenging and interesting work and opportunities to achieve your potential in a supportive and inclusive environment where people treat each other fairly and with respect.
If you are offered this post you will be subject to an enhanced check by the Disclosure and Barring Service. A criminal record will not necessarily prevent you from working at Sheffield Hallam University but its relevance to the duties of the post will need to be assessed before the appointment is confirmed.
