• Promote personal development, employability skills and professional behaviours through JTL’s Steps to Success curriculum.
• Promote safeguarding, Prevent, equality, diversity and inclusion, and health and safety throughout apprenticeship and training delivery.
• Maintain a good working knowledge of regulations and funding policy, providing advice and guidance to employers as required.
