The postholder will lead the development, enhancement, and ongoing evolution of programme content, ensuring it reflects new technologies and emerging skills needs. This includes embedding modern tools, delivery approaches, and employer insight gathered through client engagement and training needs analysis discussions, so that learning remains relevant, current, and applicable in the workplace.

Working collaboratively across training, delivery, and employer‑facing teams, the Programme Lead will champion innovation and a high‑quality learner experience. Through activities such as standardisation and programme review, the role ensures apprentices complete the programme not only meeting assessment requirements, but with the practical skills, confidence, and readiness needed to succeed in a fast‑changing industry.

The successful candidate will be a proactive, collaborative self‑starter with strong technical expertise in the programme domain and a commitment to maintaining rigorous quality standards while enabling an excellent learner experience.
