Crynodeb
Here at University of Derby, the College of Science and Engineering is the home of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths: the STEM skills that are essential to the UK’s Industrial Strategy. From digitisation to decarbonisation, we have an important role to play in shaping the future. And by researching or collaborating with us, you can too.
Engineering at Derby has a bold vision to deliver an outstanding learning experience to our students, further develop and expand our research capacity and increase our industry engagement in the region and beyond to fulfil targets for Research Excellence Framework (REF) and Knowledge Excellence Framework (KEF) as well as provide the best opportunities to our graduates. The discipline area is located in the University’s STEM annex in Markeaton Street, where staff offices and lab facilities are co-located. Key investments in the last few years include dedicated intelligent instrumentation and smart sensor technologies, robotics, renewable energy, power engineering and advanced materials and manufacturing. The discipline area is actively engaged in knowledge exchange projects and has an active applied research agenda.
About the Role
The University of Derby has been at the forefront of vocational and work-based learning for over 10 years delivering industry responsive courses and higher-level skills to local and national businesses and their employees. Building on this success and in light of the creation of new degree Apprenticeship Standards the University has developed and introduced a number of new degree higher Apprenticeships across a range of sectors.
The School of Engineering and Built Environment offers apprenticeships in manufacturing, materials science, civil engineering, aerospace and nuclear engineering. We have approximately 600 apprentices studying with companies based in the Midlands and North of the UK. The School has a wide base of employers in the region which engage with Manufacturing Engineering and Materials Science Technologist degree apprenticeships, including Rolls-Royce plc, Lucideon, Alstom, JCB, Fosroc, Parker Meggitt and IPT Aero.
As Degree Apprenticeship Workplace Reviewer in Engineering, you will be based at our Markeaton Street campus in Derby, and the academic elements of the Nuclear Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering and Materials Science Technologist Degree Apprenticeship are delivered in the teaching facilities at our Nuclear Skills Academy, Markeaton Street and Britannia Mill sites.
You will be part of a team of staff of academics, tripartite reviewers and managers who deliver the Degree Apprenticeships to a wide range of employers. You may be asked to carry out tripartite reviews in employer facilities in the Midlands and other parts of the UK.
As part of your role, you will arrange and conduct tripartite reviews with individual apprentices and their employer representatives. Integration between academic and professional learning is a key feature of our apprenticeship programmes and it supports apprentices’ success in their degree programme.
You will organise tripartite visits with employers representatives and apprentices to ensure the implementation of quality reviews and assessment of off and on-the-job evidence for audit using an e-portfolio. You will act as a personal professional academic tutor for apprentices and will need to engage actively to support learners who have disclosed a need for additional support. You will also support apprentices to prepare for their End Point Assessment.

About You
The ideal candidate will have experience of working in a relevant engineering sector with apprentices and employers. You will be able to work flexibly to arrange online and face-to-face meetings and complete appropriate administrative for compliance to deadline.
