The role
The role of Academic Mentor includes supporting Digital and Technology Solutions (DTS) or Data Science Professional (DSP) apprenticeship students to bring together their learning and their workplace by coordinating key stakeholders from the University and the employer with the student.

As Academic Mentor on a Level 7 Professional Apprenticeship programme, you will act as first point of contact for students and their line managers working in a variety of organisations across the country, providing pastoral care and mentoring. Students on the programme study primarily at distance from their places of work and attend the University for residentials lasting 3-4 days each term.

The academic mentor appointee is expected to be able to attend campus for these residential teaching blocks each term, though the bulk of the work outside of these days is compatible with remote online working (within the UK) at the discretion of the line manager.

A large emphasis on the programme is given to workplace activity which contributes a significant part of the credits towards the degree and the award of apprenticeship. You will act as mentor to students and employers relating to this work, addressing questions, explaining processes, monitoring progress and working with the module leads to who will provide academic guidance directly to students when required.
