**Knowledge Specialist (Assessor): Plumbing**Construction and Building Services**Ref: VBSS21.45c**
**1. The Appointment**
**The team and focus**
The Construction & Building Services apprenticeship provision at Vision West Nottinghamshire College is a
close knit team based at the Station Park Construction Centre. The team work closely with employers to offer
high-quality apprentices in Construction Crafts as well as Building Services, supporting learners with their
progression through the course of their apprenticeship journey.
Quality apprenticeship delivery is at the heart of what we do and we make a substantial contribution to the
Government’s apprenticeship strategy, we are a market leader in our field and everything we do is about
maintaining and strengthening our position.
**Aims and purpose of the job**
Our assessors are called ‘Specialists’ and they have a distinctive mix of talent. They are sector relevant, having
gained significant expertise to know their sector inside out. They are ingenious at imparting knowledge and
skill to others, bringing alive and sharing their sector expertise in a way that will develop our apprentices to
become experts in their own right. They are equally comfortable engaging with the managing director of the
business as they are the apprentice.
This role will assess apprentices completing Plumbing Apprenticeships in the workplace and support the
apprentices’ progress through the relevant programmes at intermediate/advanced levels. The role requires
regular visits to see apprentices and employers on-site as well as frequent attendance at the Station Park
Construction Centre, liaising with technical delivery staff and supporting apprentices with the requirements
allows a daily commute to WNC sites such as Chesterfield Road, Derby Road and the surrounding area.
We measure our success by how many of our clients achieve their apprenticeship programme in the
timescales outlined and who are very much happy with the service. We also measure how many of our
employers value the services we provide to their business and the contribution our apprentices make.
**Specific accountabilities**
You will have an in-depth understanding of the professional apprenticeship standards/frameworks and the
governance for all standards you will be accountable for delivering. This will be supported by your knowledge
of the associated funding system and apprenticeship reforms to enable you to have a rounded view of your
areas of specialism.
You will maintain the same professional level of skill and knowledge to enable you to deliver on the current
equivalent apprenticeship frameworks.
You will support the apprentice to meet all of the knowledge, skills and behaviours required of their
apprenticeship standard. Working in conjunction with the employer you will tailor your delivery to
compliment the learning, development and continuous assessment being managed by the employer and
support the employer to do this effectively.
You will utilise your professional knowledge and skill to regularly review the apprentice’s progress against
the standard and in conjunction with the apprentice and employer, make informed judgements that clearly
demonstrate that the apprentice is deemed competent against the relevant requirements of that standard.
You will attend college for an hour of group support on the ‘day-release’ delivery days of the apprentices that
you are supporting in order to build relationships, ensure Off-The-Job training is recorded in the One File e
- portfolio, and support with evidence building in One File and plan site-visits.
Prepare the apprentice to be able to demonstrate consistently that they have met the required sector set
professional standards enabling them to be supported through gateway to end point assessment. This will
include supporting the employer to confidently decide at what point this will take place.
You are expected to take charge of making sure your sector skills are current and that you keep up to date
with developments, legislation and thinking in your occupational area and will record your CPD on the
colleges HR system. You will be required to utilise this knowledge as part of the apprenticeship sign-up
process, liaising with the employer of each potential new start to complete a Skills Scan to assess the range
of skills development the apprentice will be undertaking and determine that it will be sufficient for the
prospective Standard. You will also be responsible for ensuring that all employers understand their
commitment in the apprenticeship process and training during these initial conversations and as an ongoing
process during the apprenticeship.
You will be expected to attend scheduled team meetings and quality meetings as part of your role and
contribute to development of the apprenticeship Standard that you are
