Summary

As a Digital Portfolio Manager apprentice, you will support the tracking, analysis, and delivery of outcomes within a portfolio, assisting in unblocking issues whilst helping to ensure that proper controls and risk mitigation is in place. This 2-year apprenticeship programme is an exciting opportunity to ‘earn as you learn’ and get hands on practice while you study towards a Level 4 qualification. You’ll receive formal learning to develop crucial skills, knowledge and behaviours for your career and be part of a great team. In addition:
  • You’ll be an excellent communicator with strong organisational skills.
  • You’ll need to manage a busy and rapidly changing schedule, thinking strategically about the needs, milestones and commitments of Digital delivery teams.
  • You will support in the tracking of projects using defined methods for each programme, escalating issues as appropriate.
  • You’ll provide analysis and updates to members of the leadership team regarding the progress and potential issues within your portfolio.
  • You will help to maintain a view of key project factors, including outcomes, costs, risks, dependencies, and priorities across the portfolio, ensuring they are documented and presented appropriately.

This is an excellent opportunity to gain a Level 4 Apprenticeship in Project Management.

Part of this apprenticeship is to complete and pass a level 2 English and Maths functional skills qualification. If you have already achieved GCSEs in English and Maths at Level 4 (grade C) or above, you will not need to complete the functional skills test.

To be eligible for the apprenticeship you are required to hold the following minimum eligibility criteria:

  • Hold a valid passport/birth certificate or residence permit.
  • Have the right to live and work in the UK.
  • Must have lived in the UK and/or EEA for 3 years prior to apprenticeship start date or hold refugee status.
  • Not be in full-time education or be undertaking another apprenticeship by the apprenticeship start date.
  • You must not hold an existing qualification at the same or higher level in a similar subject.
  • You must hold GCSEs in Maths and English at Grade C or equivalent or be willing to undertake and pass a functional skills assessment.

Please list all your qualifications in the qualification section.

Failure to meet any of the eligibility criteria or not listing your qualifications may results in you being withdrawn.

We expect the apprenticeship to start from 3rd February 2025. Please ensure that you are available for this start date.

If you are unsure of your eligibility, please review the content of the apprenticeship standard on the IfATE website: Associate Project Manager / Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (Associate project manager / Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education) and assess whether your previous learning has already covered much of this content. If it has, you’re unlikely to be eligible for the apprenticeship.

Please note- If you are applying on a part-time basis, you are required to do a minimum of 30 hours per week as this role combines work and studies.
