The Opportunity

I'm currently supporting a well-established national training provider that specialises in Digital and IT Apprenticeships.

As their provision continues to grow, they are looking to appoint an experienced Internal Quality Assurer (IQA) to support and enhance the quality of delivery across their apprenticeship programmes, with a particular focus on Data and AI-related standards.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced apprenticeship quality professional who enjoys developing trainers and assessors, driving consistency and ensuring learners receive an outstanding learning experience.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Sampling learner portfolios, assessment decisions and feedback.
• Conducting quality reviews across apprenticeship delivery teams.
• Supporting trainers and assessors through coaching, mentoring and standardisation activities.
• Monitoring learner progress, quality and compliance across programmes.
• Identifying areas for improvement and implementing quality improvement actions.
• Ensuring consistency of assessment practice across teams.
• Supporting preparation for Ofsted inspections, external audits and quality reviews.
• Contributing to self-assessment reports, quality improvement plans and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Ensuring programmes remain compliant with ESFA funding rules and apprenticeship requirements.
• Working closely with Curriculum, Quality and Operational teams to drive learner success.

The majority of your focus will be supporting Digital apprenticeship provision, particularly within Data, Data Analytics and emerging AI-related programmes.

About You

• Previous experience working as an Internal Quality Assurer within an apprenticeship provider.
• Experience quality assuring Digital and IT apprenticeship programmes.
• Strong knowledge of Data-related apprenticeship standards such as Data Technician and Data Analyst.
• Experience supporting trainers, coaches or assessors through standardisation and quality improvement activities.
• Good understanding of apprenticeship regulations, funding compliance and EPA processes.
• Experience conducting portfolio sampling, observations and assessment reviews.
• Knowledge of Ofsted expectations and quality frameworks.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively within a remote environment.

Highly Desirable

• Understanding of emerging AI technologies and their application within apprenticeship delivery.

Qualifications

• IQA Qualification (TAQA Level 4 IQA, V1, D34 or equivalent).
• Assessing Qualification (CAVA, A1, TAQA or equivalent).
• Relevant Digital, Data or IT qualification and/or significant industry experience.

The ideal candidate will currently be working within a Digital apprenticeship provider and have hands‑on experience quality assuring Data, AI or wider Digital apprenticeship standards. We're particularly interested in speaking with IQAs who have supported delivery teams through periods of growth, helped improve quality outcomes and have a strong understanding of what outstanding apprenticeship provision looks like.
