Please note: we can only accept applications from candidates with the right to work in the UK. We're unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role.
The Role
You'll help apprentices solve real business problems using AI and automation. Working 1-to-1 and in small groups, you'll coach learners to build practical skills they can apply straight back into their jobs, while also working with employers to understand the problems apprentices are solving day to day.
It's a varied role — coaching, delivering tutorials, developing materials, and talking to employers. You'll report to a director and, after training, be expected to manage your own time and workload. We're looking for a proactive person who wants to help shape a first-rate offer, with the autonomy to make decisions and take responsibility.
We welcome applications for full-time, flexible, or part-time working. If rigid hours have put you off applying elsewhere, we'd love to hear from you.
About You
We know brilliant candidates don't always tick every box. If you're missing one or two things below but think you could do this role, please apply anyway — we'd love to hear from you.
Essential:
- A good STEM degree (Computer Science, Maths, or similar)
- An MSc in AI or Computer Science with AI, or equivalent demonstrable experience
- A genuine interest in emerging AI technologies and in helping others learn
- Great people skills and a genuine interest in supporting people to solve their business problems
