Working Hours: 36.5 hours per week (Monday‑Friday) with flexible working options

In this role, you will support and guide a caseload of learners throughout their level 3 safeguarding journey, providing high‑quality coaching from induction through to gateway and End‑Point Assessment. You will deliver engaging learning experiences using a blend of digital tools and varied teaching methods, ensuring every learner stays motivated, confident, and on track.

As the role requires sector competence, you will draw on your background in areas such as CQC‑regulated settings, Ofsted‑aligned environments, Adult Care, or similar safeguarding‑focused sectors to contextualise learning and support apprentices effectively.

Key Responsibilities

• Generating new learners – our growing BDM teams bring on all the learners we need so you can focus on progressing your learners to success.
