Role Overview

This position sits at the centre of our technical training delivery, turning curriculum frameworks into practical, hands-on learning that prepares students for real work in their trade or technical field. The person in this role spends their week planning and facilitating sessions, guiding learners through competency-based assessments, and making sure workshop and classroom practice keeps pace with current industry standards. Success here directly shapes graduate readiness, so the role carries real weight in how our programmes are experienced and how they are regarded by employers and accrediting bodies.

• Contribute to programme review and moderation, working with colleagues, industry advisers and quality teams to validate assessments, resolve learner appeals and improve course delivery.
