Digital Learning Consultant – AI & Automation (Level 4 Apprenticeships) Location: Home based (with 2 days per calendar month at an office base) Contract: Permanent, full time Salary: $£45,000 + benefits Sector: Apprenticeships / Training & Education / IT & Digital The opportunity I'm working with a leading UK training provider to find a Digital Learning Consultant to coach and mentor learners on the AI & Automation Practitioner Level 4 apprenticeship standard. This is a remote coaching role rather than a classroom teaching role. You'll own a caseload of learners across smaller organisations and corporate environments, guiding them from onboarding through to End Point Assessment — making sure they stay engaged, evidence their learning properly, and finish on time. It's a great fit for someone with real commercial experience in AI, automation or low-code who wants to move into the training and development space, or for an experienced apprenticeship coach with a genuine technical grounding in this area. What you'll be doing Coaching and supporting an agreed caseload of learners towards timely completion of their apprenticeship Holding regular remote progress reviews with learners, their line managers and workplace mentors Observing, reviewing and giving written feedback on learner evidence to make sure it meets awarding organisation standards Helping learners apply their learning directly to their day job across a range of modules Working alongside Learning Specialists, Digital Learning Advisors and Quality Assurance colleagues to bridge classroom and online learning Running cohort-wide, "many-to-many" online coaching using virtual sessions, group communications and the e-portfolio platform Making sure learners understand and meet their off-the-job training requirements Keeping accurate learner records in line with funding body and regulatory requirements Maintaining your own CPD and staying current in a fast-moving subject area The technical knowledge you'll need You'll be giving feedback and support on the content below, so you'll need a working understanding of most of it: AI and automation tooling – Microsoft Copilot, Power Automate, APIs, RPA, production flows, logging and documentation Low-code development – GitHub Copilot, Python, the Microsoft Power Platform Organisational context – ethical AI adoption, organisational change, identifying productivity improvements, project and change management principles Governance and compliance – legal and regulatory frameworks, ethical principles in AI, benefits and risks of AI and automation, security and governance, assuring compliance Solution design – human-centred AI and automation design, sources of error and algorithmic bias, the project development lifecycle, sustainable solution design Testing and evaluation – solution viability, application testing principles, human oversight and human/AI collaboration, evaluating impact, long-term monitoring Enablement – training and engagement approaches for technical and non-technical audiences, building support resources, inclusive stakeholder communication, collaborative working, wellbeing and safe working practices What they're looking for Excellent communication and coaching skills, with the ability to deliver motivational, balanced and constructive feedback Commercial or industry experience in AI, automation, low-code or a closely related digital field Strong written skills — a significant part of the role is written feedback and data recording Confidence diagnosing learner needs and adapting your approach in a fully remote setting Strong planning, organisation and time management, and the ability to work to strict deadlines Self-motivated, resilient and customer-focused, comfortable working independently and as part of a wider team Awareness of equality and diversity, plus up to date knowledge of Safeguarding, Prevent and Health & Safety requirements Willingness to undertake and maintain relevant clearance checks (DBS, BPSS, DV, Disclosure Scotland as applicable) Apprenticeship delivery experience, an assessor/coaching qualification (CAVA, TAQA, A1) or teaching qualification is welcome but not essential — strong industry knowledge and the ability to motivate people matter more.
