Skills Development Coach - AI & Business Analysis

Full Description

The Role

You'll coach 35-45 apprentices through a 16 month programme that builds real AI capability in the workplace.

Not theory, practical skills they'll use in their actual jobs.

Your apprentices will work on live projects in their companies.

You'll guide them through the problem solving, the analysis, the implementation.

You'll help them get good at breaking down business challenges and usingAI tools to solve them properly.

This is coaching, not teaching.

You're there to challenge, support, and push them to deliver work that matters.

What We're Looking For

• Strong organisation and attention to detail

• Ability to work independently and juggle multiple learners

• Excellent communication (written and verbal)

Bonus points for:

• Hands on experience with AI tools or workplace AI projects

• Knowledge of apprenticeship delivery, ESFA funding, or Ofsted frameworks

• Familiarity with EPA and occupational standards

• Teaching or assessing qualification (TAQA, Cert Ed)

What Good Looks Like

• Your learners pass EPA and go on to do good work

• Employers see real value from the projects your apprentices deliver

• Your compliance records are inspection ready

• Learners rate you highly and stay engaged

• You're helping the team get better at what we do

• You're on top of safeguarding and welfare responsibilities

Why This Role Matters

AI is everywhere, but most organisations are struggling to make it work.

This programme exists to fix that, by developing people who can bridge the gap between AI tools and real business problems.

As a coach, you'll be working at the front line of that shift.

You'll see your apprentices go from uncertain beginners to confident practitioners who deliver measurable impact in their roles.

You'll help organisations get better at using AI, one learner at a time.

If you want to work on something that's genuinely useful, with people who are learning fast and applying it immediately, this is it.
