About the Role

We're recruiting a Trainer Assessor/Lecturer in Carpentry and Joinery on behalf of a further education provider in the North West. You'll train, support and assess students on workplace programmes, combining in-house delivery with visits to employers' premises to help learners achieve their apprenticeship frameworks and standards.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Training, supporting and assessing students on workplace programmes to deliver high-quality outcomes.
  • Planning and preparing training documentation to support direct and online delivery.
  • Liaising with candidates and workplace supervisors to arrange visits, either in college or on employers' premises.
  • Producing individual training, learning and assessment plans.
  • Providing individual and group training and support in line with relevant specifications.
  • Administering tests in college or on employers' premises as appropriate.
  • Providing advice, guidance and feedback on the training and assessment process.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • An Assessor Award (D32/33, A1 or TAQA)
  • A Level 3 qualification or above in a relevant trade area
  • Minimum Level 2 English and Level 2 Maths (GCSE A–C or equivalent)
  • Recent and relevant industry or occupational work/training experience
  • Experience of assessing qualifications in the workplace, such as NVQs

Desirable (but not essential):

  • A teaching or training qualification, such as the Level 3 Award in Education & Training or PTLLS, or a willingness to work towards one within 12 months

If you're ready to bring your carpentry and joinery expertise into a training role and help shape the next generation of tradespeople, we'd love to hear from you.
