The Redundancy rules only apply to Apprentices who have their apprenticeship agreement terminated by reason of redundancy, I think you have interpreted the OR statement incorrectly.
However, if the job role with the new employer is the same they may be used to complete the EPA, see also Par. 105.
- Where an apprentice has changed employer after they have completed all the training and reached gateway, including where the new job role is not related to the apprenticeship, they may complete the end-point assessment in agreement with the end-point assessment organisation and the provider that it can be satisfactorily taken and paid for. We will issue further technical details as to how this change should be reported to us including how the provider can claim the completion payment.

so where can I find the 'further technical details as to how this change should be reported'.......etc?.
I asked the same few months ago, but there isn't any guidance yet as far as I know. Do keep asking the service desk and let us know if you get an answer!
We're desperate to know as we do have apprentices who leave their employer post gateway, and then can't complete their EPA. I'm not sure who would pay for the EPA though, and whether we'd be allowed to charge the student.

Learner leaves employer within 3 months of going into Gateway
Created
I have a learner who wants to change job, the learner is intending to leave his current employer although in no immediate rush to do this (so he is not being made redundant just handing in his notice) and looking to start a new role probably in the new year leaving his current employer early Jan 24. He is due to go into Gateway on 14th Jan 2024. Am I correct in thinking (as per redundancy rules 23/24) that whenever he decides to leave his current employment we can simply continue through to Gateway and EPA with this learner regardless of his employment status, as he has completed 75% of learning/OPL etc? Do I have to complete any paperwork for ILR purposes and maybe a change of circumstances, IF he does in fact leave his employer imminently.
