Degree Apprenticeship Facilitator (DAF)

We are seeking to appoint a highly organised, apprentice focused and employer confident Degree Apprenticeship Facilitator (DAF) to support apprentices and employers throughout the full apprenticeship journey from onboarding and induction through on programme delivery, tripartite progress reviews, gateway and successful End Point Assessment (EPA) / Apprenticeship Assessment (AA).

This is a role for someone who enjoys being the steady, supportive link between apprentice, employer and university, someone who can combine coaching and motivation with strong process management, compliance awareness, and evidence quality. You will manage a defined caseload and use your coaching experience to provide detailed feedback, set relevant actions, and offer regular guidance to keep apprentices progressing and EPA/AA ready.

This role will suit you if you are motivated by helping apprentices succeed and you enjoy working across learners, employers and university teams to make that happen.

You should apply if you:

• Enjoy coaching and supporting learners—giving clear, constructive feedback and setting practical actions that move people forward.
• Are confident building productive, professional relationships with employers and mentors, and can communicate expectations clearly and diplomatically.
• Like organising complex processes and evidence—comfortable with deadlines, documentation and audit ready records.
• Can spot risk early (e.g., low engagement, gaps in evidence, missed milestones) and take proactive steps to get apprentices back on track.
• Are comfortable using digital systems and data to monitor progress, report accurately and support timely gateway and EPA/AA readiness.
• Take pride in delivering a supportive and inclusive learner experience, understanding the importance of safeguarding and escalation where needed.

Applicants should be advised that due to the key timings of certain aspects of this role, annual leave is restricted within July and August.

Informal enquiries can be made to Thomas Dowd, EBE Apprentice Quantity Surveying Programme Leader and Apprenticeship lead/Coordinator, by email: t.o.dowd@ljmu.ac.uk

In return, we offer an excellent benefits package including generous annual leave entitlement, pension scheme, induction and development support as well as family-friendly policies.
