Location: Gloucester

Employment Type: Full Time

Salary From: \xc2\xa329,500 to \xc2\xa331,500 depending on experience

We offer a Company pension scheme and life assurance. Staff receive subsidised gym membership, free fruit is provided in the office and we have a support and counselling service available to all employees. We have free parking onsite and an early finish on a Friday. In addition, we organise Christmas and summer social events for staff and a Children\'s Christmas party.

The Role

Based in Gloucester, with travel to sites in the South and South East

Our client is interested in hearing from qualified electricians, either with or without assessing experience, who\'d like to play an important role in helping develop our electricians\' skills in domestic ventilation and supporting our apprentices in achieving their qualifications. Full training will be provided for those looking to come \'off the tools\' to take on a new challenge.

The training division is responsible for supporting 300-plus electrical apprentices to complete formal qualifications. These apprentices are helping us wire over 24,000 new homes a year nationwide and building long-term careers with us in the process. We\'re very proud of the role our apprentice training plays in the success of our business, and we\'re looking for someone who will share this pride in offering a high-quality learner experience and making a difference to the newcomers to our industry.

Working as part of a training team of 25, including eight other assessors, you\'ll be allocated a \'case load\' of apprentices employed by the contracting arm of our business. Alongside this, you will assist in delivering the two-day NICEIC Domestic Ventilation Qualification at our training centre in Gloucester.

All our apprentices are working towards their Level 3 Apprenticeship in Electrical Installation. While our lecturers deliver classroom-based learning, your role as an assessor will guide apprentices through the practical performance elements, including preparation for the AM2S test. This key part of an electrical apprenticeship demonstrates a person\'s competence, and you will assess this by visiting them on-site and reviewing the written evidence they submit to their e-portfolio.

If you are not already a qualified assessor, we\'ll support your training as you complete the Level 3 Award in Assessing Competence in the Work Environment. It is expected that you\'ll be able to achieve this within six months by gathering appropriate evidence to complete a portfolio of your own work.

You\'ll be issued a VW Caddy, laptop, iPad and company mobile phone as part of the role. Salary will depend on experience, with the top end of the salary range applicable to someone with significant experience in an assessing role.

Working hours will be 39 hours a week, based on 8 hours a day, Monday to Thursday and 7 hours on Fridays, with an hour for lunch each day. Holiday entitlement starts at 23 days, increasing to 27 days with length of service (plus bank holidays).

Successful applicants will need to undergo a check with the Disclosure and Barring Service (formerly known as the Criminal Records Bureau) as a condition of the job offer.

Responsibilities

• Visiting apprentices on-site to observe them carrying out the full range of tasks required to demonstrate competence, organising your visits, and communicating with apprentices and their team leaders to finalise arrangements.
• Reviewing documented evidence submitted by apprentices against awarding body requirements, determining whether to accept it as complete or responding with feedback about changes required.
• Planning your workload and prioritising assessments according to expected apprenticeship completion dates.
• Maintaining regular contact with all your allocated learners and recording interactions with apprentices in our e-portfolio system.
• Providing one-to-one practical training in Inspection and testing, particularly to assist learners with preparation for the AM2 practical test.
• Participating in standardisation meetings with colleagues to help maintain consistent standards of assessment.
• Delivering theory and practical training in a classroom environment to qualified electricians undertaking the Domestic Ventilation Qualification

Required Experience

Applicants must be fully qualified electricians (JIB Gold Card standard) with at least five years\' post-qualification experience in electrical work. If you\'ve held training responsibilities as part of a previous role, this would be helpful, but this is not an essential requirement as on-the-job tuition will be provided.
