Data Trainer/Coach in Wilmslow

Apprentify Group is a portfolio of six companies, each with its own culture, personality and people. Across the group, we support around 10,000 learners a year and we're scaling fast, including a growing data delivery function that needs people who can hit the ground running from day one.

Location: Remote-first, UK. Occasional travel for team events or customer meetings.

Contract: Full-time, permanent

Start: As soon as possible

Must hold: (or be able to pass) an Enhanced DBS check

Programmes: Data Technician (level 3) and Data Analyst (level 4)

Life in the role:

• Most of your time is spent delivering high-quality training sessions, group and 1-2-1, on data and giving constructive, developmental feedback on workplace projects.
• The environment: We work remote-first. You won't be micromanaged, but you will be expected to own your results from day one.
• Apprentify is a scale-up; processes are still being built and things evolve quickly.
• The people who thrive here see that as an opportunity, not a problem.

Team & Culture:

• You’ll join the Delivery team, results-focused, value-driven culture contributors who move fast and support each other.
• Reports to: Performance Manager
• Delivery Management style: Clear expectations, genuine autonomy over how you get there

What we value:

• Curiosity over perfection
• Progress over polish
• People who take ownership without being asked

The honest hard bit:

Managing the full apprentice journey while balancing compliance tracking and high-quality coaching. Apprentices learn at different speeds, and keeping everyone on track for their End-Point Assessment requires serious organisational stamina. If you can handle that, you’ll love it here.

Is this for you?

• You genuinely care about unlocking talent and enjoy helping people grow
• You can translate technical data concepts for non-technical learners without losing the substance
• You take ownership without needing to be chased
• You're comfortable with ambiguity and a fast-changing environment
• You enjoy being challenged to keep growing yourself

This is NOT for you if:

• Your data knowledge is theoretical and you can't explain complex concepts to non-technical audiences
• You prefer slow, predictable work
• You've never trained or coached others before
• You see documentation and compliance as someone else's problem
• You need a fully structured corporate environment to do your best work

What you bring:

• Minimum 2 years' experience within data analytics, computer science, statistics/mathematics or equivalent
• Proven experience delivering training, coaching or facilitation in professional or educational settings
• Ability to give high-quality developmental feedback that supports learner progress and achievement
• Knowledge and confidence using digital tools and online learning platforms
• Understanding of Safeguarding, Prevent and Equality & Diversity responsibilities
• A track record of supporting learners to achieve higher-level outcomes, such as merits and distinctions at EPA

Nice to have:

• Industry-recognised qualifications such as BCS Data Analyst, Microsoft (Power BI, Azure Data) or Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate
• Knowledge of End-Point Assessment processes for Data Tech Level 3 & Data Analyst Level 4
• Understanding of Ofsted's Education Inspection Framework
• A teaching, training or assessing qualification
• Understanding of the use of AI in data analytics.

What we offer:

• Competitive salary
• 25 days annual leave (plus bank holidays), increasing with length of service
• Private medical insurance
• Birthday Leave + Volunteer Day
• Hybrid working with regular collaboration days in our Wilmslow HQ
• Ongoing professional development and leadership support
• Enhanced family leave policies
• Access to mental health and wellbeing support
• Regular company-wide events and team socials

The interview process:

• Stage 1, Recruiter screening call (30 minutes): A conversation about your experience and the role, to ensure genuine alignment before moving forward.
• Stage 2, Micro-teach (45 minutes): You’ll prepare and deliver a 15‑minute coaching session, followed by a Q&A.
• Stage 3, Capability interview (1 hour): A conversation about your data experience and your training and coaching approach.
