The Co-ordinator will support quality assurance and continuous improvement across a range of programmes, ensuring compliance with funding and awarding requirements. The role will also support the full learner journey, from initial assessment and enrolment through to achievement and progression, and will contribute to the development of high-quality learning resources. In addition, the role will involve coordinating resources and delivering learning, where required, across multiple locations.
