• Support learners from induction through to achievement, providing feedback, tutorials, and individual learning plans.
• Develop curriculum in line with national requirements, community needs, and employer expectations.
• Work closely with employers and awarding bodies to ensure high-quality training and compliance.
• Contribute to course design, reviews, and quality assurance processes.
• Promote the College's values of equality, diversity, safeguarding, and student success.
