Workplace CoachUniversity

We have an exciting opportunity at the AMRC Training Centre for someone with a passion to develop the next generation of engineering and manufacturing apprentices, as a workplace coach.

The AMRC Training Centre is a provider of choice for many employers and this role offers the opportunity to work with a range of employers, based both locally and nationally, and to make a contribution to addressing the skills needs in manufacturing and engineering.

We are looking for an experienced workplace coach, with a background in engineering and manufacturing, and knowledge and experience of engineering and manufacturing apprenticeships.

You will be part of the team coordinating on and off the job learning and assessment of our engineering and manufacturing advanced, higher and degree apprentices. You will work with a number of apprentices, setting learning targets and assessments to support them to practice and develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours required by the apprenticeship standard. The reviews will take place in the apprentices’ workplace with employers contributing to the target setting and providing feedback on progress.

Ideally you will hold a degree in engineering (or related) discipline, and relevant industrial experience and appropriate assessor/verifier qualifications.

The role requires a good working knowledge of engineering practice, well developed planning and organisational skills, the ability to communicate effectively with apprentices and employers, with good questioning skills and the confidence to discuss a range of topics and issues with apprentices and employers.

You will be based at the AMRC Training Centre at Catcliffe in Rotherham. You will be visiting apprentices in employment in South Yorkshire and beyond and so a full UK driving licence and access to a car is essential.
