Location: Fully remote Salary: £50,000+ (depending on experience) The Opportunity You won’t just deliver programmes. You will build them from the ground up. Our client is launching a new suite of digital and AI apprenticeships, starting with the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Data Specialist (ST0763) standard, followed by Data Technician, Data Analyst, Digital Support Technician and Data Engineer pathways. This is a senior role focused on creating high-quality, scalable curriculum and then supporting its successful delivery. For the first three months, your primary focus will be to design and build a complete apprenticeship programme from scratch. From there, you will transition into delivery, refinement and supporting wider growth across our digital provision. The Role Phase 1: Curriculum Design and Build (First 3 Months) You will lead the end-to-end development of the AI Data Specialist programme. This will include designing structured lesson plans and session content, creating assignments and assessment briefs, and developing AI-marked questions supported by clear expected answers and marking logic. You will ensure all content is mapped effectively to Knowledge, Skills and Behaviours (KSBs) and aligned to End Point Assessment (EPA) requirements. You will also design meaningful off-the-job (OTJ) activities and support the development of eLearning and SCORM modules. All content will be structured within our LearnDash and MyPortfolio ecosystem. You will be starting from a blank page, with full ownership to build a programme that is engaging, rigorous and scalable. Phase 2: Delivery and Continuous Improvement Once the first cohort is live, you will take an active role in delivery. This will include facilitating fortnightly live sessions, guiding apprentices through their learning and portfolio development, and providing structured feedback. You will continuously refine the curriculum based on learner progress, engagement and outcomes, ensuring strong alignment with EPA success and real workplace application. Phase 3: Scaling the Provision As the programme grows, you will support the onboarding and development of additional Development Coaches, ensuring consistency and quality in delivery. You will also contribute to the development of further programmes across our digital and data pathways, building on the foundation established in the initial phase. About You This is not a standard Development Coach role. We are looking for someone who can both build and deliver at a high level. You will have strong experience in delivering digital, data or IT-related apprenticeships, alongside a solid understanding of data concepts and emerging applications of AI within business contexts. You will be confident in designing curriculum, creating learning content and developing assessment materials. You will have a clear understanding of apprenticeship standards, KSB mapping and EPA requirements. Most importantly, you will be comfortable starting from scratch, able to structure complex topics into clear and effective learning, and willing to take ownership of building something new. Our client’s Delivery Model Our approach is modern and continuously evolving. Delivery is centred around structured, task-based learning supported by fortnightly live sessions. Apprentices build evidence through our MyPortfolio system, supported by eLearning modules and AI-assisted marking and feedback. They are not tied to traditional delivery methods and are actively developing more effective and engaging ways to support learning. What Success Looks Like Within three months, the AI Data Specialist programme will be fully designed, built and ready for launch. Within six months, the programme will have at least 30 active apprentices, with strong engagement and progress, and you will be supporting additional Development Coaches. Within twelve months, a full suite of digital apprenticeship programmes will be established, with a scalable and consistent delivery model in place. Suitability This role will suit someone who is motivated by building and improving programmes, not simply delivering existing content. It is not suited to individuals who prefer highly structured environments with pre-defined materials or limited scope for ownership. Our client is a growing apprenticeship provider with a strong focus on quality, innovation and practical impact. This role offers the opportunity to shape how digital and AI apprenticeships are designed and delivered, with genuine ownership and influence over the direction of the provision
