2 JOB DESCRIPTION LECTURER IN ACCOUNTING

3 HART LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT ABOUT US Hart Learning & Development is a progressive learning and development business which supports businesses of all sizes to engage with and invest in emerging talent. We start with our clients ambitions, plans and challenges in mind. Everything we do is about helping businesses to improve and grow. We help businesses of all sizes to attract and retain the talent they need whether that s working to engage young people about the world of work, recruiting and training the right talent, or providing opportunities for onward career progression. We re really fortunate to be part of the Hart Learning Group. We learn something new every day from our friends in North Hertfordshire College and in the schools we sponsor through the Hart Schools Trust. Our advice about business engagement with young people is grounded in the firsthand experience of colleagues across the Group. We also get to draw on the huge pool of teaching expertise, and learning resources in the College. OUR PROPOSITION At Hart Learning & Development we re passionate about the relationship between businesses and their future workforce. We exist to help businesses invest in emerging talent, and secure the maximum return on that investment. Apprenticeships are our first love. They have a unique power to transform the lives of young people enabling them to build a career and realise their full potential in the occupation they care about most. They re equally powerful for businesses boosting productivity, staff retention and bottom line business performance. We believe that the best and most effective apprenticeship programmes are those which form part of a wider, considered and structured, approach to engaging with and investing in emerging talent. We think what comes before, and what sits beyond, an apprenticeship programme is really important. We like to think about three distinct phases through which employers can engage with emerging talent and we use the image below to illustrate our thinking.

4 Engaging The engaging phase is about helping businesses develop a relationship with their future workforce. It s about working with young people to help inform and inspire them about careers in their sector, and making sure that their education is preparing them for the realities of the world of work and giving them their first experience of the workplace. The sorts of things we help businesses do in this phase include: Offering work experience placements to school and college students. Talking to students in schools and colleges about their career paths. Attending careers fairs to talk to students about their sector and business. Helping schools and colleges to design their full time programmes. Training The training phase is about how businesses attract and then train young people when they first join the workforce. Particularly given the advent of the apprenticeship levy that could very well be through an apprenticeship. It could also be a graduate programme, or bespoke initiative that meets the particular needs of the business. The sorts of things we help businesses do in this phase include: Providing work experience placements for young people on a traineeship programme, often with the prospect of an apprenticeship if they think the young person is a good fit for their business. Running campaigns to attract young people to a business; this might include targeted efforts to attract candidates from different communities and talent pools. Apprenticeship programmes; looking across the full range of business units and occupations in a business. In future we also plan to support graduate programmes. Progression The progression phase is about what happens next. If businesses are to retain their best young talent in a vibrant labour market, they need to offer clear development and progression opportunities beyond the initial apprenticeship or graduate training programme. To maximise their return on investment in emerging talent they need young people to realise their full potential and progress as far as their talent will take them. The sorts of things we help businesses do in this phase include: Higher level apprenticeships: apprenticeships at levels equivalent to higher education Progression pathways: other opportunities for further development, including qualifications like ILM or CIPD Future leaders programmes: identifying and developing future leaders within an organisation

5 We re realistic people in Hart L&D. We know that employers have a day job to do, and we don t advise or insist that our clients do all of the above. We do help them think about what they re already doing and how they could join the dots. We help them identify what would work best for their business and how they can get the maximum return on their investment in emerging talent. HART L&D DIFFERENTIATION We believe that six things differentiate Hart L&D: A unique perspective: We think about engagement with emerging talent in the round crossing the traditional boundaries between school, college and the workplace. That ability to help our clients across the board makes us, pretty much, unique. Relationship with and insight into young people: We can help businesses find the best new recruits from our talent pool & beyond. We understand what employers expect from new recruits. We re experts in engaging with young people and preparing them for the reality of the world of work. Solutions that start with business: We focus on solutions that work for businesses supporting their goals and addressing their challenges. We help our clients access public funding to support the costs of training but we don t let that distract us from meeting their needs. Breadth and depth of expertise: We can access a huge pool of expertise. In addition to our own amazing team, we can draw on the expertise of colleagues from right across the Hart Learning Group to deliver for almost any level or occupation. Progressives with a passion for innovation: We re constantly thinking about what the future looks like for our clients. The apprenticeship landscape is changing rapidly and we help our clients seize the opportunity and maximise their return on investment. A values-driven business: As a not for profit, we reinvest every penny into improving our delivery. Everything we do is about delivering an exceptional, relevant, experience for our clients and our learners, which delivers real results for both.
