  • Plan, assess and review learner progress to ensure timely achievement of their qualifications.
  • Support learners with Functional Skills (English & Maths) up to Level 2 where required.
  • Maintain accurate and timely records of assessment, progress reviews, and learner outcomes.
  • Collaborate with learners' line managers to ensure training is relevant and impactful.
  • Participate in regular standardisation and CPD to maintain and develop your expertise.

  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage your own diary.
  • Confident communicator who can build strong relationships with learners and employers.
  • Willingness to travel regionally and complete the CAVA qualification (fully funded).
