We are looking for a dedicated NVQ Assessor to join our growing team at Phoenix Health and Safety, part of Wilmington Plc.

As we continue to expand, we need an experienced professional to assess and support learners working towards their Level 6 NVQ Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety.

- Assessing the Level 6 NVQ Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety.
