• Developing and promoting high-quality apprenticeship programmes that meet industry standards.
• Collaborating with the wider delivery team to enhance the learner experience and improve outcomes.

Candidate Requirements

• A Level 3 qualification or above in brickwork or a related field.
• An assessor qualification (or willingness to work towards one, with support provided).
• Industry experience in brickwork, with a strong understanding of apprenticeship standards.
• Excellent communication and organisational skills, with the ability to engage both learners and employers.
• Strong IT proficiency, with experience managing online learning systems preferred.
• Flexibility to travel as required to support learners and employers.

Benefits

• Generous annual leave entitlement.
• Excellent pension scheme.
• Full support to gain further teaching or assessing qualifications if required.

This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to the professional development of future bricklayers while working with a forward-thinking Further Education college.
