Our focus

The main focus of Vision Business is to deliver high impact consultative solutions that exceed the expectations of businesses and individuals who engage with us.  Apprenticeship delivery is at the heart of what we do and we make a substantial contribution to the Government’s apprenticeship strategy, we are a market leader in our field and everything we do is about maintaining and strengthening our position.

Aims and purpose of the job

Our specialists are a distinctive mix of talent.  They are sector relevant, having gained significant expertise to know their sector inside out, being ‘credible’ in their field.  They are ingenious at imparting knowledge and skill to others, bringing alive and sharing their sector expertise in a way that will develop our apprentices to become experts in their own right.  They are equally comfortable engaging with the managing director of the business as they are the apprentice. 

This is a great opportunity for a dynamic, professional individual with suitable vocational qualifications to be part of a team that delivers training and assesses employees in the Business and Administration, Team Leading, Management, Sales, Customer Services sectors to achieve national standards as part of an Apprenticeship framework. Assessor – Trainers may be asked to deliver and assess on some or all of the following: Appropriate Technical Certificate, NVQ/Diploma (or relevant competence based qualification), and Functional Skills (as appropriate to the apprenticeship framework).

This is an exciting position to work as part of a team on an on-going contract with a major employer in the Manchester/Sheffield area. You will have occupational experience in the following Business Administration, Team Leading / Management, Customer Service and in addition Sales would be an advantage. Experience of delivery and assessment methods as part of apprenticeship frameworks is desirable but not essential as the College will develop people into the role and ensure that training is given to obtain appropriate assessor awards. Experience or capability to deliver English, maths and ICT Functional Skills Levels one and two would be highly desirable.

We measure our success by how many of our clients achieve their apprenticeship programme and are happy with the service.   We also measure how many of our employers value the services we provide to their business and the contribution our apprentices make.
