Who We Are
Apprentify Group is a portfolio of six companies, each with its own culture, personality and people. Across the group we support around 10,000 learners a year and we're scaling fast, with a growing infrastructure and digital delivery function that needs someone who can hit the ground running from day one.
We're looking for someone to own Apprentify's infrastructure curriculum end to end, from IT support and networking through to cyber, cloud and AI-enabled infrastructure, across apprenticeships, Skills Bootcamps, ASF, FCFJ provision and commercial short courses.
What we need from you is the flexibility, collaboration and forward-thinking that turns solid curriculum into curriculum learners actually engage with.
THE QUICK FACTS
- Location: Remote-first, with travel to our Wilmslow HQ for team days and collaboration
- Contract: Full-time, permanent
- Reports to: Group Head of Curriculum
- Start: as soon as possible within 3 months
- Enhanced DBS check required
LIFE IN THE ROLE
The real work:
- Most of your time is spent designing, refining and maintaining the infrastructure curriculum across apprenticeships, Skills Bootcamps, ASF, FCFJ provision and commercial short courses.
- You'll sit in on employer and sales calls as the technical SME when things get detailed.
- You'll support trainers and Development Coaches through delivery guidance, standardisation and CPD.
- You'll lead internal advisory meetings to look at what's working, what isn't, and what needs to change.
The environment:
- We work remote-first with regular collaboration days in Wilmslow.
- You won't be micromanaged, but you will be expected to own your curriculum area from day one.
- Apprentify is a scale-up; processes are still being built and things evolve quickly. The people who thrive here see that as an opportunity, not a problem.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
THE HONEST HARD BIT
- The breadth of the portfolio is real. You're moving between IT Support Level 3, Network Engineer Level 4, cyber, cloud, bootcamp content and commercial short courses in the same week.
- You'll be switching between technical detail, employer conversation, standardisation activity and audit-readiness without a lot of ramp-up time.
- Priorities can shift when a new employer conversation lands or a compliance requirement changes.
- Structure exists but you'll help build more of it as we grow.
IS THIS FOR YOU?
✔ You collaborate by default. You believe curriculum shaped by trainers, coaches, employers and quality colleagues beats curriculum shaped in isolation.
✔ You take feedback well and are happy to rework your approach when someone else has a better idea.
✔ You're forward-thinking about how curriculum can be delivered, interactive, applied, industry-current, not textbook.
✔ You're energised by ownership rather than daunted by it.
✔ You're comfortable in a scale-up where processes are still being built and priorities shift.
Not for you if:
✘ You want everything mapped out before you start.
✘ You need a lot of hierarchy or process to work well.
✘ You prefer sticking to what's always been done over trying new approaches.
✘ You'd rather work in isolation than have your ideas challenged.
What You Bring
- Experience in curriculum design and development within infrastructure, IT support, networking or wider digital training
- Working knowledge of apprenticeship standards, assessment requirements and funded provision (ideally including some mix of Skills Bootcamps, ASF, FCFJ or commercial short courses)
- Understanding of digital learning platforms, e-portfolio systems and blended delivery models
- Ability to design clear, sequenced and occupationally relevant curricula
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills across delivery, quality, employer and commercial teams
- Understanding of quality assurance, compliance and continuous improvement within funded learning
- Enhanced DBS check (hold or able to pass)
