As a Skills Trainer, you’ll be supporting apprentices and colleagues in their learning journey. This role involves planning, teaching, and delivering high-quality training sessions both in the classroom and the workplace. You will play a vital role in enhancing the learner experience by improving attendance, retention, and achievement while supporting their continuous progress and career development.

You’ll need to be in the office for a minimum of 2 days per week and the remaining time you’ll be able to work remotely.
In this role, you will work closely with the Academy Team to deliver engaging and innovative lessons tailored to individual learning needs. You will be responsible for preparing and reviewing training plans, delivering one-to-one and small-group sessions, and ensuring learners are well-prepared for End Point Assessments and qualifications. Your focus will be on improving the overall learner experience by providing ongoing support, tracking progress, and maintaining high standards of teaching and assessment.
