Head of Apprenticeships and Skills

About this role

The Priory Federation of Academies Trust is
seeking an ambitious and experienced leader to drive the next phase of
development for Priory Apprenticeships and our Trust careers education
strategy.

This is an exciting opportunity for a highly
skilled professional to join a successful and growing organisation that is
committed to transforming life chances through education, training and skills
development.

Working alongside the Director of
Professional Learning, you will provide strategic leadership for Priory
Apprenticeships, ensuring outstanding quality, compliance and learner
outcomes. You will lead the development of our apprenticeship provision, stakeholder
engagement and management strategy, quality assurance processes and
preparation for external inspection, while also overseeing the Trust’s
careers strategy through a network of academy leaders.

We
are particularly interested in candidates with:

• Significant
  leadership experience within apprenticeships and/or further/adult
  education.
• Experience
  of Ofsted inspection and self-assessment processes.
• Experience of leading teams and driving
  improvement.
• Strong employer engagement and
  stakeholder management skills.
• A commitment to improving the life
  chances of young people and adults.

Experience of careers education is welcomed
but is not essential. We have a strong network of Careers Leaders,
Coordinators and Advisors across our academies and are looking for someone
who can bring outstanding strategic leadership to this area.

If
you are passionate about skills development, workforce growth and creating
transformational opportunities for learners, we would love to hear from you.
