Your Role: What You'll Be Doing
Are you a creative and passionate individual who loves training and connecting with people? If so, we want you on our team!
As our Trainer, you'll:
* Deliver engaging learning sessions in schools, residential homes, and online webinars—wherever our learners are.
* Design fun, fresh, and structured training content that resonates.
* Create high-quality resources for our virtual learning environment.
* Bring energy, enthusiasm, and confidence to every group you work with, whether big or small.
* Collaborate closely with colleagues across the organization to shape courses that make a real difference.
Note: Occasional travel to our offices, schools, and our Bromsgrove/Milton Keynes head office is part of the role.
Who You Are: The Ideal Candidate
You are the kind of person who:
* Loves teaching, presenting, or facilitating and feels at home in both face-to-face settings and webinars.
* Brings energy, humor, and connection into every session.
* Can stay calm and professional even when things get busy.
* Enjoys juggling multiple tasks and can prioritize effectively.
* Thrives in a team environment and builds strong relationships.
* Has solid IT skills (Microsoft Office, including PowerPoint, and LMS systems) and a flair for producing high-quality learning content.
* Is open to running the occasional early evening/twilight session when needed.
While training/teaching qualifications or VLE experience are a plus, your passion and skills are what truly matter to us!
