Apprenticeships Manager - Crystal Palace + national travel

Apprenticeships Manager - Crystal Palace National Sports Centre, Crystal Palace

GLL College is looking for an Apprenticeships Manager to lead the improvement of our nationwide apprenticeship programmes. GLL College is the dedicated training division of GLL which runs BETTER Leisure Centres, Gyms and libraries right across the UK. The College is an apprenticeship employer-provider and is looking for a motivated and experienced Apprenticeships Manager to be responsible for helping us achieve the highest Ofsted quality standards and operational excellence including full ESFA regulations compliance. The College is in an exciting phase, where it's maturing from delivering mainly short in-house training courses to be able to deliver a full range of learning and development interventions that support our entire organisation's strategic workforce plan from apprenticeships right through to management and leadership training. As Apprenticeships Manager, you'll have the opportunity to influence this strategic development.

Reporting to the Head of College, you'll be part of a small management team and be integral to our success. You'll be passionate about delivering an outstanding apprenticeship experience for our students, ensuring they continue to learn and develop and want to build a long-term career with GLL. A significant part of your role will be making sure we are able to deliver consistently high-quality teaching and assessment to Ofsted standards with our leisure centre staff fully briefed and engaged with how to deliver the best experience for the apprentices. This varied and busy role will see you leading everything from curriculum development to writing detailed reports and presentations on quality and operational KPIs.

You'll most likely have a background of managing, inspiring and delivering successful apprenticeship programmes within other large businesses; ensuring robust processes and reporting, including self-assessment. Your expertise will enable you to make accurate judgements about the quality of provision and your knowledge and confidence will see us through successful Ofsted inspections. You'll be a motivational team leader with experience in developing high-performing teams of Skills Developers and admin staff. It goes without saying that you'll be very familiar with the use of ILR funding systems, e-portfolio and e-learning portals.

This is a great opportunity to develop and support the employment transformation agenda for a successful national social enterprise. If you'd like to be part of the GLL College management team, apply now
