About the Role

A further education provider in the East Midlands is looking for a Plumbing & Gas Assessor to support apprenticeship delivery and learner progression.

You'll assess apprentices against industry standards, providing guidance, feedback and support throughout their apprenticeship journey. You'll work closely with employers and curriculum colleagues to make sure learners achieve their qualifications and build the skills the industry expects.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Assessing apprentices against industry standards and qualification requirements.
• Supporting learners with evidence gathering and portfolio development.
• Carrying out workplace observations and progress reviews with apprentices and employers.
• Making fair and accurate assessment decisions and providing constructive feedback.
• Maintaining accurate learner records and documentation.
• Working with curriculum teams and employers to support apprenticeship delivery.
• Maintaining up-to-date industry knowledge through ongoing professional development.

What We're Looking For

• Level 3 qualification in Plumbing, Domestic Heating and Gas
• Valid Gas Safe registration
• Recent hands on industry experience
• Maths and English at Level 2 / GCSE Grade C or equivalent
• Confident IT and digital skills
• Strong communication and organisational skills
• Ability to motivate and support learners of varying abilities

Desirable (but not essential):

• An assessing qualification (CAVA, A1, D32/D33 or equivalent)
• Experience of apprenticeship or vocational training

If you don't yet hold an assessing qualification, you're still encouraged to apply, provided you're willing to work towards the CAVA Assessor qualification.

If you're ready to bring your trade experience into the classroom and workplace, we'd love to hear from you.
