- Coach learners to develop leadership, management, and operational effectiveness skills aligned to the apprenticeship standard.
- Assess learner evidence and provide high-quality written and verbal feedback.
- Deliver engaging workshops and learning sessions where required.
- Track learner progress and support achievement, retention, and quality targets.
- Utilise e-portfolio systems and virtual learning platforms to support learner success.
- Contribute to quality improvement, standardisation activities, and sharing best practice across the team.
