**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
