About the Role

A further education provider in the North West is looking for a Sector Lead to take responsibility for the quality and performance of its construction apprenticeship provision.

  • Contributing to curriculum planning so that content reflects current industry standards.

  • A strong background in construction or the built environment
  • Experience of leading or managing apprenticeship or vocational provision
  • Experience of leading and developing a team
  • Understanding of apprenticeship quality assurance, compliance and employer engagement
  • Strong communication and organisational skills

Desirable (but not essential):

If you're ready to lead construction apprenticeships and shape the next generation of the trade, we'd love to hear from you.
