Support and shape the next generation of electricians. Are you ready to take your industry experience and use it to inspire and guide the next generation? Whether you’re an experienced assessor or a qualified electrician looking to move off the tools, this is your opportunity to play a vital role in helping apprentices develop the skills, knowledge, and professional standards they need to succeed. At JTL, we’re committed to delivering more than qualifications; we prepare our apprentices for life and work.

As an Electrical Training Officer, you’ll combine assessment, mentoring, coaching, and employer engagement to ensure every apprentice gets the support they need to progress, achieve, and thrive. It’s a role where you’ll see the direct results of your guidance in the confidence, competence, and career success of the people you support, making it both challenging and deeply rewarding.

About The Role

• You’ll manage a caseload of apprentices across the London & South East region, working closely with both learners and employers to monitor progress, provide constructive feedback, and ensure apprentices are on track to meet the full requirements of their apprenticeship standard.
• This role is about more than ticking boxes; you’ll be a trusted advisor, coach, and link between the apprentice, their employer, and JTL, ensuring all three work together towards successful outcomes.
• You’ll support apprentices through regular workplace visits and progress reviews, offering mentoring, coaching, and guidance to help them succeed.
• Work with employers to ensure they understand their responsibilities, are engaged with the apprentice’s progress, and can provide the right opportunities for skill development.
• Carry out fair and accurate assessments of apprentice knowledge, skills, and behaviours in line with awarding organisation and industry standards.
• Provide clear, constructive, and developmental feedback that helps apprentices improve and move towards successful end-point assessment.
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of apprentice progress, attendance, and achievements, producing timely reports and tracking against agreed milestones.
• Identify skills gaps or risk of non-completion early and agree targeted interventions with apprentices and employers.
• Complete pre-placement vetting for new and existing employers in line with JTL procedures to ensure safe and suitable working environments.
• Embed safeguarding, Prevent, equality and diversity, and health and safety into every aspect of your work, ensuring apprentices feel safe, supported, and able to thrive.
• Promote positive attitudes to learning, workplace professionalism, and the development of essential employability skills.
• Act as an ambassador for JTL by attending careers events, school visits, and industry activities to promote apprenticeships.
• Keep your own technical knowledge and assessment practice up to date through CPD and engagement with industry developments.

What We’re Looking For

• Qualified electrician, NVQ Level 3, recognised apprenticeship or equivalent.
• Verifiable industry experience as a qualified operative/practitioner.
• GCSE/O-Level Maths and English (A–C, 9–4) or Level 2 equivalent.
• Excellent communication, organisational, and IT skills.
• Commitment to your own ongoing professional development.

Desirable

• Current IET Wiring Regulations (18th Edition) or willingness to upskill on appointment.
• Health & Safety qualification (e.g. IOSH Managing Safely).
• Assessor qualifications (D32, D33, A1, or TAQA).
• 2391 or equivalent Testing and Inspection qualification.
• Working knowledge of the building services engineering and related industries.
