As an Apprenticeship Systems Officer, you will help support growth in apprenticeship delivery, by leading on a programme of developments to our apprenticeship management system, enhancing its functionality for learners, employers, and tutors. To do this you will project manage a rolling programme of enhancements, including developing and delivering associated training, information, and guidance to all users. You will also manage our system helpdesk, problem solving current operation issues and using intelligence to build system enhancements.

You will need to have exceptional customer service skills, alongside good time management and organisational skills.
