Are you an experienced plumbing or gas professional looking to support the next generation of skilled tradespeople?

About the Role

You'll join a further education provider in the North West, assessing apprentices against industry standards and supporting them through their apprenticeship journey.

• Supporting learners with evidence gathering and portfolio development.
• Making fair and accurate assessment decisions and providing constructive feedback.
• Monitoring learner progress and maintaining accurate records.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

• Recent hands-on industry experience in plumbing and/or gas
• Maths and English at Level 2 or GCSE Grade C/4 or equivalent
• Confident IT and digital skills
• Strong communication and organisational skills
• Ability to motivate and support learners of varying abilities

Desirable (but not essential):

• Valid Gas Safe registration
• An assessing qualification such as CAVA, A1 or D32/D33
• Previous experience of apprenticeship or vocational training

If you don't yet hold an assessing qualification, you're still encouraged to apply where you're willing to work towards the CAVA Assessor qualification.
