If you are currently working in children’s services, residential care, family support or youth services and want to use your experience to help develop the next generation of practitioners, this could be the perfect opportunity.

Our apprenticeship provision is growing through our partnership with Lancashire County Council and local employers, creating exciting opportunities for professionals passionate about developing the workforce supporting children, young people and families.
About the Role
As a Training & Development Coach, you will support apprentices completing the Children & Young People Level 4 and Level 5 standards across Lancashire.
You will coach, guide and challenge apprentices within their workplace, helping them build the knowledge, skills and behaviours required to succeed in professional practice and achieve their End Point Assessment.

• Level 3 Award in Education and Training
• Assessor Qualification (CAVA/A1)
• Internal Quality Assurance qualification (IQA)

• Provide developmental feedback and set clear targets to support progress
