Job description

Ready to step away from shift work and use your transport experience to develop others?

You’ll deliver structured learning sessions across classroom and online environments, supporting apprentices as they progress towards end point assessment. It’s a great opportunity to stay connected to the industry while making a lasting difference to people’s careers.

• Prepare and mark learner work, providing constructive feedback and tracking progress
• Support learners in building their portfolio of evidence ready for End Point Assessment (EPA)
• Schedule and conduct timely learner reviews, gathering feedback from relevant stakeholders
• Liaise with employers to confirm attendance and coordinate operational requirements such as driver release
• Maintain accurate records and complete administrative tasks to ensure compliance
• Uphold high quality standards across all training activities
• Build positive, professional relationships with learners and employers to create a supportive learning environment

Where will I be based?

This is a hybrid role, with some of your time based at a depot, and the remainder working from home. This will be discussed with you further in your interview.
