This is a meaningful opportunity for an experienced trainer or FE professional with a strong grasp of Ofsted requirements to join our mission-led organisation.

- Ensure delivery meets inspection, audit and awarding body requirements

- Capture and evaluate learner voice and exit feedback to improve provision

- Experience using funder-specific CRM systems

- Knowledge of FE and other employment intervention programmes, including their background and operation

- Knowledge of internal verification processes

- A qualification to Level 3 or demonstrable equivalent experience

- A teaching qualification

- A lead internal verifier qualification (or the willingness to work towards this in the first 6 months of employment)

The closing date for this role is 12th January 2026.
