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.

- 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):

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.
A real person, not an automated email. If we are not the right fit for you we will say so quickly rather than leave you waiting.
