The role will support the administration and customer service aspect of the recruitment process, from advertising right through to contract issuing.

Development of Degree Apprenticeship provision is of strategic importance to the University and we have a comprehensive suite of programmes across our Faculties. We partner with a range of organisations from blue chip, global companies, to local SMEs to deliver teaching and learning to apprentices all over England.

They will need to develop good internal relationships, become familiar with the programmes we offer, and ensure that robust evidence is collated to meet the ESFA funding Rules and to satisfy Ofsted.

In return, they will be supported in developing their career, allowing them to progress towards their career goals in a friendly, flexible environment. We are able to offer a competitive salary and benefits package, including a generous holiday allowance and pension scheme. The successful applicants will also have access to excellent sport, leisure and childcare facilities across our campuses.
