This is an exciting opportunity for experienced automotive professionals to use their industry expertise to support and develop the next generation of skilled technicians.

The successful candidates will manage a caseload of approximately 45 apprentices, supporting them throughout their learning journey through workplace assessment, progress reviews, coaching and ongoing development.

You will also contribute to the development of learners' literacy, numeracy and digital skills, proactively manage your caseload and support the continued growth and success of the College's Work-Based Learning provision.
