Job overview

We have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and motivated Trainer/Assessor (fixed term) to join our growing team at Gateshead College.

This role is ideal for someone who already has experience in assessment or training, as well as professionals currently working in areas such as business support, education, learning facilitation, or industry who are looking to move into teaching and assessment. What matters most to us is not just qualifications, but your passion for developing others and commitment to helping learners succeed.

We are particularly keen to hear from candidates with experience in one or more of the following areas:

• Business Administration
• Customer Service
• Event Management
• Leadership & Management / Team Leading
• Human Resources
• Associate Project Management

At Gateshead College we believe behaviours and attitude are just as important as formal qualifications. As a college, developing people is what we do best.

About the Team

You will be joining a supportive and forward-thinking team where:

• Collaboration is encouraged
• Success is recognised and celebrated
• Innovation is welcomed
• Learners are always at the heart of everything we do

We pride ourselves on working closely with local employers and enjoying the benefits of our beautiful campus location, including lunchtime walks by the river. We also champion flexible working and understand the importance of a healthy work-life balance.

• Plan and deliver engaging, high-quality learning sessions
• Carry out regular one-to-one reviews with learners
• Monitor progress and provide timely feedback
• Maintain strong relationships with employers and line managers
• Ensure learners are prepared for their End Point Assessment (EPA)
• Support learners with career progression and employability skills

This is a rewarding role where your contribution will make a real difference to people’s futures. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing a learner achieve their qualification knowing you played a key part in their success.
