Job details

When you work for the University of Lancashire, you’ll be part of a thriving community of talent that’s united in a common commitment to transform lives. We do this by delivering an outstanding educational experience and creating prosperity and opportunity in the communities we serve. Whatever your role, you’ll be playing a vital part in helping us achieve our vision.

About the role:

We are seeking an Apprenticeship Administration Coordinator to provide high-quality administrative support within the Workforce Development and Skills Team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with strong attention to detail who enjoys working in a compliance-focused environment and wants to contribute to the delivery of exceptional apprenticeship programmes.

You will support the administration of apprenticeship programmes throughout the learner journey, ensuring records, documentation and systems are maintained accurately and in line with funding and compliance requirements. Working closely with the Apprenticeship Development Officer and wider team, you will help manage apprenticeship documentation, support quality and compliance processes, and contribute to the smooth day-to-day operation of apprenticeship provision.

About you:

You will be a highly organised individual who can work independently while remaining a collaborative and supportive team member. You will have excellent attention to detail and be comfortable managing deadlines and identifying risks.

A range of GCSEs, including English Language and Maths at Grade C/4 or above, or appropriate equivalent experiential learning are essential for this role.

Use of AI in applications: We want to understand your genuine interest in the role and artificial intelligence can be a useful tool to support your application. However, all examples and statements provided must be truthful, factually accurate and taken directly from your own experience and the written elements of your application should accurately reflect your own communication style. Applications that rely too heavily on AI tools can appear generic and lack the detail we need to assess your skills and experience.

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive sufficient applications for the role. Therefore, if you are interested, please submit your application as early as possible.

What we can offer you:

We have a fantastic package of rewards and lifestyle benefits – from an attractive annual leave entitlement to access to a comprehensive employee benefits platform which includes a 24/7 online GP.

Our people are our most important asset. We’ll encourage you to make the most of your talents and continually develop your skills and knowledge. As well as realising your career ambitions, you’ll be making a positive difference to other people’s lives.

About us:

We are proud to be a diverse, multicultural university. We are committed to building a truly inclusive culture where diversity is championed. Applications are particularly welcomed from individuals who will support the diversification within the University and support its development of a culture that is inclusive and welcoming to all.

The University is committed to providing a safe environment to study, work and visit, protecting children, young people and adults at risk from harm and abuse.
