Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom Scottish Water Full time
Learning Administrator - Apprentice Programmes

Scotland Wide (Geog)

Together we are Trusted to Serve Scotland.

It's not every job where you make a difference for the people of Scotland. But it's what's behind every job here.

Our work keeps Scotland's water flowing, from reservoir to tap – and from sewer to treatment plant. Do your bit by joining our Skills Academy team

Our Skills Academy supports technical training and assessment across operational roles and is accredited to deliver water industry and business administration modern apprenticeships.

As our Learning Administrator, you'll be working closely with our learners and line managers, as well as training providers, funding bodies, and awarding organisations. You'll play a crucial role in supporting our assessors and ensuring we stay compliant with funding and qualification processes from Skills Development Scotland.

What You'll Do

In this role, you'll manage apprentice funding and qualification processes, oversee audits by the Scottish Qualifications Authority and Skills Development Scotland, and support our Academy team with all administrative tasks related to apprentices. This includes hosting virtual meetings to keep everyone up to date with the latest requirements and helping team leaders and apprentices with pay, contracts, and training aspects of their programs. You'll also organise attendance at development events and ambassador programs and work on digitalising learning resources to enhance our processes.

Although our team is spread out across Scotland, this job can be done virtually, with occasional trips to the central belt. It's a great opportunity to develop your skills while working with our apprentices throughout their induction and development. You'll also collaborate with early careers, recruitment, and diversity teams to ensure we recruit and retain a diverse group of apprentices, supporting Scottish Water's inclusive and collaborative environment.

What You'll Need

We're looking for someone who's a confident communicator, comfortable handling internal and external inquiries via email and MS Teams. Attention to detail is key, as is the ability to manage complex processes. You will be organised and proficient in Microsoft Office, especially Outlook, Teams, Word, and Excel.

Looking out for you

While the work we do is important, we know it's not the only thing that matters. That's why we make sure you have everything you need to find a good work-life balance.

You'll get plenty of time to recharge with 38 days of holiday every year (including public holidays). And you can even buy five more if you need a little extra time. You can also take paid time off to volunteer in your community.

When it comes to major life events we have family-friendly policies around adoption, maternity, and parental leave. And for the everyday? We embrace flexible working.

For your future, there's our defined benefits, contribution pension scheme (the 'know-what-you'll-get-when-you-retire' kind), as well as life insurance,

As for some nice extras? You can expect an annual company bonus. Not to mention access to SW Splash – handy rewards that can save you money on holidays, bills, and shopping.

The not-so-small print

This role will be a Grade 3. If you're new to Scottish Water, you'll join us on a starting salary of £25,980. Performance-driven pay progression would then allow you to move through the range to a maximum of £30,000.

If you're interested in this role – or know someone else who might be - we'll be accepting applications until midnight on the 2nd of June 2024.

Job offers at Scottish Water are conditional, and will be confirmed on completion of our pre-employment screening, e.g. referencing, criminal record checks, license checks, etc. These checks are conducted on our behalf by a third party. Don't worry - we'll ask your permission before starting these checks.

A few final things worth knowing...

Research shows that some people avoid applying for jobs unless they can meet every single criteria. If you're interested in this job, but don't tick all the boxes, apply anyway We hardly ever hire people who can do every part of a job from Day One. Everyone has a learning curve. So don't rule yourself out

Let us know if there are any changes we can make to our recruitment process to help you perform at your best. Lots of our people have disabilities or neurodiverse conditions (including some of our recruiters). We're also aware that some people might be experiencing temporary challenges because of life events, like menopause. We're very used to making adjustments, so please don't be afraid to ask.

As part of our commitment to developing a flourishing Scotland, it's important that all our employees are Scottish taxpayers. If you join us, your home address will need to be in Scotland. If you don't already live here, you'll need to commit to moving here within your first three months.

Finally (finally), candidates who haven't submitted an application in the last 12 months will have their records removed from our recruitment database. You won't need to do anything. Your data will be automatically deleted.
