About the Role
As our Senior Trainer Adviser, you’ll lead the development, management and delivery of a wide range of employability and skills-based programmes.

This role is perfect for someone who thrives on variety and genuinely loves helping people grow.

2. Building strong partnerships with schools, colleges, agencies, employers and community organisations to expand our training offer.
3. Overseeing and quality‑assuring community‑based training sessions, including those delivered by partners.
4. Managing participant data, reporting outcomes and ensuring programmes continuously improve.
5. Providing 1‑to‑1 employability support when needed, including CVs, applications, confidence‑building and interview prep.
6. Supporting the development of volunteers through training and coaching.
7. Helping run our careers clubs, community events and toolkit sessions across our hubs.
8. Promoting programmes through community engagement, social media and internal communications.
9. Line-managing the Pre‑Apprenticeship post and supporting wider Communities team priorities.
Every day will feel meaningful — because every day, you’ll help someone move forward.

The Company
A commercial business with a social heart, our vision is to create opportunities that change lives through our drive, expertise, resources and passion.
Our dynamic approach has made us one of the region’s leading providers of affordable homes for rent and sale. Developing new homes across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, and the surrounding area, we’re committed to increasing the supply of affordable homes in the communities where they are needed most. Agility and innovation are central to our approach to adapting to change, and we’ll continue to grow our business in today’s fast-paced operating environment.
There’s more to building communities than building houses. In addition to providing quality homes and delivering excellent landlord services, we also provide care at home and at our two extra care communities in Peterborough as well as around the clock support through our LifeLine personal alarm service. Our community investment programme sees us working with specialist partners to bring a range of employment, wellbeing and family-friendly services to the heart of our communities, with a rapidly expanding digital support offer too.
