This is an exciting opportunity to become an assessor within the Strategic Growth and Partnerships Apprenticeship Team at West Suffolk College.

We are looking for an individual who is not only qualified to Level 3 or above in Electrical Installation (such as a Level 3 Electrotechnical qualification or NVQ Level 3 in Electrical), but who also has at least two years of experience within the sector.
