Childcare Assessor in Pwllheli

Grwp Llandrillo Menai was established in 2012 as a result of mergers between Coleg Llandrillo, Coleg Menai and Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor. It employs 2,000 staff and delivers courses to around 21,000 students, including over 1,500 higher education students, across Anglesey, Conwy, Denbighshire and Gwynedd. The Grwp aims to support the economy of North Wales by equipping local people with the skills and qualifications needed to ensure the competitiveness and success of the region.

The Grwp's wide range of courses, high quality learning experiences, first-class facilities and talented staff all contribute towards the achievement of these goals. Additional opportunities to study locally for degrees and professional qualifications enable more young people and mature learners to achieve their potential. A University Centre at the Rhos-on-Sea Campus provides fabulous facilities for the Grwp's Higher Education students.

Our mission of 'Improving People's Futures' captures what we are about as a further education organisation. Although delivering successful qualifications is essential to us, we also make a significant impact on social cohesion and economic development. We aim to be at the heart of our communities and to be the skills engine that drives the success of North Wales.

As an Assessor within the Childcare team at Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor, Pwllheli, you will play an important role in the team delivering the Level 3 Children's Care, Play, Learning and Development: Practice and Theory qualification. This is an exciting opportunity to join a supportive, ambitious and high-performing team that is committed to providing high-quality education and preparing learners for successful careers in the childcare sector. You will support learners to develop the knowledge, skills and professional behaviours required to succeed in the industry.

The Childcare Assessor is responsible for the delivery of training, assessment and internal verification of learners' work. The role supports full-time Further Education learners undertaking work placements across the local area, ensuring that the practical elements of their qualification are assessed in the workplace and that learners are able to demonstrate competence in line with qualification requirements.

Working collaboratively alongside teaching staff, employers and wider Grwp Llandrillo Menai colleagues, the Assessor monitors learner progress, conducts workplace observations, and provides guidance and support to enable learners to successfully complete their training and achieve their qualification. You will be joining a successful and ambitious team with a strong track record of learner achievement, including excellent recent examination outcomes, high attendance across the programme, and outstanding success rates.

The role also contributes to programme quality improvement, supports learner recruitment activities across the campus and local community, and promotes the mission, values and aims of Grwp Llandrillo Menai.
