Apprenticeship Assessor in IT

As an Apprenticeship Assessor within the IT Faculty you will be joining a very successful, ambitious and growing team. You will be responsible for assessing IT related apprenticeship standards including Information Communication Technician Level 3, Software Development Technician Level 3 and Network Engineer Level 4. We are particularly keen to hear from applicants with experience or knowledge of Digital and IT apprenticeship Standards, or recent employment in the IT industry.

The core of the role will be to facilitate the apprentice’s learning journey by supporting the creation of the showcase portfolio. This involves working with apprentices, to gather evidence, identify assessment opportunities, set up and prepare EPA activities and carry out regular employer visits to assess and review the apprentice’s progress. You will also contribute to Internal Verification and standardisation activities. This is an office-based role, however, you will be regularly visiting apprentices in their workplace as part of the review and assessment process. Our employer partners are predominantly based within Devon.

There may also be scope for some classroom-based teaching as part of the role depending on qualifications and experience, as well as developing the curriculum and learning opportunities for our apprentices. Our IT faculty is based in the heart of the city centre, just a few minutes’ walk from Exeter Central Station. We also have classrooms and specialist facilities in the recently opened Digital and Data Centre, our brand-new building offering high-quality, cutting-edge provision to support our students. This building boasts a fully equipped IT lab for our computer technicians as well as a sector leading esports venue, used by our competition winning students. In addition, it contains specialist Apple teaching facilities and high end HE delivery spaces including a 140+ seat lecture theatre. Our curriculum is enhanced by our being a Microsoft Academy, a CISCO Academy and an Apple Authorised Training Centre.

You will be expected to participate in the marketing and recruitment of apprenticeship programmes to prospective apprentices. Ideally, you will have previous experience of working with apprenticeship Standards, either as an assessor or lecturer, with some background in industry.

The successful applicant will need to hold, or be willing to work towards, a CAVA or TAQA (A1 or equivalent) qualification.
