Vocational Trainer in Electrical Engineering

Temporary

Location: the North West

Start date: 21 September 2026

Are you an experienced electrical engineering professional ready to pass your trade on to the next generation?

About the Role

You'll join a further education provider in the North West, training learners in electrical engineering and supporting them to build the occupational competence they need to progress into the industry.

You'll deliver both practical workshop sessions and underpinning theory, keeping your delivery grounded in current industry standards and assessing learners' progress as they work towards their qualifications.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Delivering practical and theory training in electrical engineering across a range of levels.
  • Planning and preparing schemes of work, practical sessions, lesson resources and assessments.
  • Assessing learners' work and providing timely, constructive feedback.
  • Monitoring learner progress and supporting those with gaps in knowledge.
  • Working with curriculum colleagues to support achievement and retention.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • A Level 3 qualification or equivalent in electrical engineering or a related discipline
  • Industry experience in the electrical trade
  • Willingness to obtain an enhanced DBS check

Desirable (but not essential):

  • An assessor qualification such as CAVA, A1 or D32/D33
  • A teaching qualification such as AET, CertEd or PGCE
  • Experience of training or assessing in a further education or work-based setting

If you're ready to bring your trade into the training room and shape the next generation of electrical engineers, we'd love to hear from you.
