Course overview

A sustainable team leader is a first-line management role with operational and project responsibilities or responsibility for managing a team to deliver a clearly defined outcome. They provide direction, instructions, and guidance to ensure the achievement of set goals. Working in the private, public, or third sector and in all sizes of organisations, specific responsibilities will vary, but the knowledge, skills, and behaviours needed will be the same, regardless of the role.

Key responsibilities are likely to include supporting, managing, and developing team members, managing projects, planning and monitoring workloads and resources, delivering operational plans, resolving problems, and building relationships internally and externally.

In addition, this qualification will also incorporate elements of Understanding Climate Change, Sustainability, and Environmental Protection, as well as Resource Efficiency and Waste Management. By integrating these components, team leaders will be equipped to foster environmental awareness and implement sustainable practices, contributing to resource-efficient operations and a greener future.

The learner journey

1. 14 months on-programme – This is when the individual will learn the skills, knowledge and behaviours which will support them for their End-Point Assessment. The learner could partake in a combination of activities, such as classroom based sessions, mentoring, shadowing, bespoke resources and off-site visits in order to support their learning and development. 

You will be required to spend at least six hours a week on off-the-job training in order to meet the course requirements.

2. Gateway – After the 14 months teaching and learning, you, your training provider and the learner will review the learners journey and decide whether it is the right time for the on-programme assessment.

3. End-Point Assessment – This is when your learner will need to demonstrate they have learnt the required knowledge, skills and behaviours, through an on demand knowledge test, a professional discussion, practical observation and business project.
