Talent Pool - Early Years Trainer - Nationwide

Realise are on the lookout for qualified Early Years Trainer Assessors and Trainees, across all areas of England. As a Trainer Assessor, your focus will be to support learners to reach their goals through their Early Years Level 2, 3 or 5 apprenticeships or Adult Skills short courses. As the first point of contact for your learners you will provide the support they need to flourish through their apprenticeship journey with Realise.

Whilst we can’t promise that every day will be the same, your key responsibilities are likely to be:

• Supporting a caseload of learners across your region, face to face and remotely
• Delivering a range of award-winning qualifications
• Coming up with appropriate solutions for your learners, to ensure that they have the best experience possible and develop their interest and career
• Utilising an e-portfolio system to effectively manage the learner journey

We also welcome applications from those wanting full-time (5 days a week) and part-time hours (4 days in the week). Please note that we may not have a position in your local area, but your details will be kept on file until there is, and we will reach out then.

This is a home-based role, with travel required within approx. 45 miles radius to visit learners and employers. Around 70% of your week will be spent on the road, but as you’ll manage your own diary, you’ll have flexibility in how you plan your time. This will be discussed with you further in your interview.
