These opportunities are open to staff (academic, professional services and technical) who have successfully completed their probationary period and are on a permanent contract. The programme has a time commitment of a minimum of 6 hours a week, it is therefore essential that line manager approval is provided as part of the application process.
It is essential that you have the support of your line managers to undertake this programme. You will be expected to discuss with your line manager how this learning will be applied within the work environment so that we can see an impact of the application of your skills.
Those with previous related qualifications will need to check eligibility before submitting an application.
If you are a manager or work in a student support role and would like to be able to apply coaching techniques within your every day role to support learners or team members, you may wish to consider the Learning and Skills Mentor Apprenticeship – Level 4.
