- Build employability and digital literacy, preparing learners for real-world opportunities.
- Ensure workshop safety and compliance, maintaining high standards of health, safety, and security.
- Collaborate with key partners, including CIAG and support teams, to deliver inclusive, effective education.
- Track progress and maintain records, contributing to parole reports and achievement data.
- Contribute to curriculum development and continuous improvement initiatives aligned to Ofsted expectations.
What We’re Looking For:
- Level 3 qualification in CAD or Engineering Design (or equivalent).
- Experience delivering CAD or engineering training.
- Strong communication and facilitation skills.
- Passion for supporting learner development and achievement.
- Ability to create inclusive, engaging learning environments.

Why Join Us?
- Small class sizes (up to 12 learners), allowing for individual support and relationship-building.
