If you have strong Painting & Decorating experience but don't currently hold a teaching or assessing qualification, this may still be an excellent opportunity for you.

Our client can support successful candidates in gaining the appropriate teaching and/or assessing qualifications and assessments as part of their probationary period.

You'll work with learners who are developing practical skills and qualifications that can help them move towards employment and build a more positive future following release.
