About Us
Focus Fitness UK is one of the UK's leading providers of Personal Training, Gym Instructing and Sports Massage qualifications. Founded in 2011 by former professional footballers, we've helped thousands of learners build new careers in the health and fitness industry through our government-funded and privately funded courses in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Sheffield.
We're proud to be Ofsted-rated “Good,” an approved CIMSPA member, and a trusted delivery partner for Active IQ qualifications. As we continue to grow, we're looking for an experienced MIS Manager to join us on a part-time basis and help us keep our learner data, funding compliance, and reporting running smoothly.
The Role
As MIS Manager, you'll be the person who makes sure our learner data is accurate, our funding claims are compliant, and our leadership team has the insight they need to make good decisions. This is a part-time role, ideal for an experienced MIS professional from the further education, apprenticeship, or training provider sector looking for flexible hours.
Key Responsibilities
Own the end-to-end management of our Management Information System (MIS), keeping learner records accurate, complete and up to date
Prepare and submit accurate, timely Individualised Learner Record (ILR) returns in line with DfE/SLC requirements
Monitor funding compliance and support funding claims for government-funded courses, flagging risks or errors before they become problems
Produce regular reports and dashboards for senior leadership on enrolments, retention, achievement rates, and funding performance
Support Ofsted inspection readiness by maintaining robust, audit-ready data and documentation
Liaise with awarding bodies (e.g. Active IQ) and funding bodies to ensure data submissions meet their requirements
Identify trends and data quality issues, working with curriculum, admissions and quality teams to resolve them
Provide training and day-to-day guidance to staff on correct MIS use and data entry standards
Support system upgrades, integrations, and troubleshooting with our MIS/LMS provider
About You
Proven experience in an MIS Manager, MIS Officer, or Data & Funding role within a training provider, further education college, or apprenticeship provider
Strong working knowledge of ILR submissions, DfE/SLC funding rules, and compliance requirements
Confident using MIS/LMS platforms (e.g. PICS)
Comfortable building reports and dashboards (Excel essential; Power BI a bonus)
High attention to detail and comfortable working to funding deadlines
Good understanding of GDPR and safe handling of learner data
Self-motivated and able to manage your own workload with minimal supervision (ideal for someone balancing this alongside other part-time work)
What We Offer
Flexible, part-time hours to fit around your schedule
The chance to make a real, visible impact at a well-established, growing training provider
A supportive, close-knit team culture
Central London office, with some remote flexibility likely available
