  • Maintaining high standards of health and safety in the workshop.
  • Keeping accurate records and completing associated administrative tasks.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • A Level 3 (or higher) qualification in engineering or a related discipline
  • Industry experience you can draw on in the workshop
  • A sound understanding of workshop health and safety
  • The ability to support and motivate learners of differing abilities

Desirable (but not essential):

  • Previous experience working in a further education or training environment
  • A teaching, training or assessing qualification

If you're ready to put your engineering experience to work supporting learners, we'd love to hear from you.
