Vacancy detail

Details of Organisation/Business Directorate

Under the Selborne contract, the Contractor has responsibility for management of the training output for in scope training locations.

The Authority has a need to establish a suitably resourced and empowered ‘customer’ function to manage the contract, coordinate and manage the provision of Authority enablers and dependencies, and hold the Contractor to account for the delivery of the in-scope training services to the volume and quality standard required by the Authority.

The Authority’s responsibilities as an intelligent customer will be discharged through the Authority component of the Training Management Group (TMG) within the Personnel and Training Directorate. The TMG is the key forum for collaborative working between the Authority and the Contractor at a corporate level, and for the day-to-day management and oversight of the training service.

The Authority’s role as ‘customer’ within the TMG is to oversee, assure, consult, inform and influence, not to determine how the Contractor delivers the contracted services. The Authority component of the TMG constitutes both a centralised team and local ‘key customers’ at the point of training delivery to support the proactive management of the Contractor and the coordination of relevant Authority dependencies.

The TMG operates on a collaborative basis with joint-working between the Authority and Contractor to help each Party achieve their aligned objectives. This includes the Parties working together to identify and resolve risks and issues, and to realise opportunities. It also involves the Parties supporting one another to help fulfil their respective responsibilities and obligations, in accordance with the terms set out in Clause 62 (Cooperation and Collaboration) of the contract. In the case of the Authority, this will mean the provision of technical SME advice and guidance to the Contractor in relation to RN training and education, support in the design and implementation of remedial, opportunity realisation and modernisation plans, and facilitating change elsewhere within the RN which supports and enables the realisation of benefits within the training system.

The Pipeline Accreditation (PACC) teams role is to ensure accreditations requirements for each profession are met within resource envelope. The Military Independent Assessment Authority is the End Point Assessment (EPA) Organisation for a number of Apprenticeship Standards for the RN. The primary role of the MIAA is to act separately from other training aspects to offer unbiased grading assurance on EPAs and to apply for the apprenticeship certification on the Standards it is registered for. The MIAA is externally assured by Ofqual.
