We are seeking an experienced Electrical Installation professional to join the Apprenticeship Team as an Assessor.

This role involves managing a caseload of apprentices, carrying out workplace visits, assessing practical competence, and providing one-to-one coaching and support through to End Point Assessment. You will work closely with employers to ensure apprentices develop the skills, knowledge and behaviours required to succeed in the industry.

The position suits someone with strong industry experience who wants a more structured, long-term role while remaining connected to the trade. It offers a permanent salary, college benefits, and the opportunity to move into education without leaving the sector.

Requirements:

• Level 3 qualification in Electrical Installation (NVQ or equivalent)
• Minimum two years’ industry experience
• Confident communication skills and ability to work independently

Teaching or assessing qualifications are desirable but not essential. Support will be provided to gain any required training.

This is an opportunity to use your industry expertise to develop the next generation of electricians while building a stable and rewarding career.

* This will be paid as £1,500 at the end of first month of employment and £1,500 after six months completed service. The entire sum will be repayable if you leave within the first two years of service. This only applies to direct applicants and not to those staff who come through an agency. Internal college policy applies.

• Membership into Local Government Pension Scheme
