Are you passionate about helping people to achieve their potential? Would you relish an opportunity to play an influential role in helping to ensure that apprentices have a quality experience which supports their development and future career progression?

We are seeking an Apprenticeship Programmes Co-ordinator who is passionate about future talent to support the delivery and success of the structured apprenticeship programmes across Transport for Greater Manchester.

TfGM oversees transport in Greater Manchester, delivering and improving transport services, facilities and information to make travel easier for everyone. We deliver high-profile, large-scale transport projects, and it’s our experts who provide the information and analysis to shape transport strategy.

You will support the development of our apprenticeship programmes across a wide range of levels and apprenticeship standards, liaising with apprentices, their leaders and mentors to ensure they are achieving milestones, meeting objectives and having an excellent experience. You will engage with training providers to identify the most appropriate and up to date solutions to maximise the use of our Apprenticeship Levy, recording and monitoring our activities, and contributing to the development of structured programmes to ensure our apprenticeship opportunities develop, stretch and challenge both our current employees and those new to the organisation. You will also co-ordinate work placement opportunities and programmes which aim to engage a diverse range of candidates for our opportunities.

You will have substantial experience of providing advice and support in a HR, recruitment or learning and development environment. You will have experience of working in a customer centred role, prioritising activities and working to defined deadlines. You will ideally have experience and understanding of the apprenticeship levy and apprenticeship training activities.
