Job Title: Skills Coach – Level 4 AI Practitioner Apprenticeship

Location: Homebase – One afternoon a week in Liverpool

Overview:

We are looking for an experienced and motivated Skills Coach to support apprentices enrolled on the Level 4 AI Practitioner Apprenticeship. The successful candidate will guide learners through their apprenticeship journey, supporting them to develop the knowledge, skills, and behaviours required to succeed in roles involving artificial intelligence, data, and emerging technologies.

The role involves coaching apprentices, tracking progress, working closely with employers, and ensuring learners achieve timely completion of their programme.

Key Responsibilities

* Deliver online coaching sessions to apprentices undertaking the Level 4 AI Practitioner Apprenticeship.

* Support learners to develop skills in AI fundamentals, data handling, machine learning concepts, and ethical use of AI.

* Monitor apprentice progress against apprenticeship standards and ensure timely achievement of milestones.

* Conduct regular progress reviews with apprentices and their employers.

* Provide feedback on assignments, portfolios, and practical tasks.

* Support apprentices in developing their knowledge, skills, and behaviours (KSBs) aligned with the apprenticeship standard.

* Ensure apprentices are prepared for End-Point Assessment (EPA).

* Maintain accurate learner records and compliance documentation in line with ESFA funding rules.

* Identify any learning support needs and provide appropriate guidance or signposting.

* Build strong relationships with employers to ensure workplace learning aligns with programme outcomes.

* Stay up to date with developments in AI technologies, digital skills, and apprenticeship delivery practices.

Essential Requirements

* Experience delivering or supporting apprenticeships or work-based learning programmes.

* Knowledge of Artificial Intelligence concepts, data analysis, or digital technologies.

* Experience coaching, mentoring, or supporting learners in a professional or training environment.

* Strong organisational and communication skills.

* Ability to manage a caseload of apprentices and support them through to completion.

* Understanding of apprenticeship standards, compliance, and progress monitoring.

Where to Advertise Machine Learning Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise machine learning jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and communities that reach ML, MLOps and deep learning engineering talent. The candidate pool is small, highly specialised and in demand across AI labs, financial services, healthcare, autonomous systems and consumer technology simultaneously. Machine learning engineers and researchers move between roles through professional networks, conference communities and specialist platforms — not general job boards where ML roles compete with unrelated software engineering positions for the same audience. This guide, published by MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise machine learning roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Machine Learning Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Machine Learning Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the MLOps, LLM and generative AI hiring trends shaping UK ML careers over the next three years. Machine learning has undergone a transformation that few technology disciplines can match. In the space of three years it has moved from a specialism sitting at the edges of most organisations' technology strategies to a capability that sits at the centre of them. The tools have changed, the expectations have shifted, and the range of industries treating machine learning as a core business function — rather than an experimental one — has expanded dramatically. For job seekers, this creates both opportunity and complexity in roughly equal measure. The machine learning jobs market of 2026 is significantly larger than it was three years ago, but it is also significantly more demanding. Employers have developed more sophisticated expectations, the technical bar for specialist roles has risen, and the landscape of tools, frameworks, and architectural patterns that practitioners are expected to know has broadened considerably. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping what machine learning engineers and researchers are expected to build, and how the definition of a machine learning career is evolving beyond the model-building core toward a much wider range of roles across the full ML lifecycle. This article breaks down what the UK machine learning jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
