About the role
Electrical Trainer Assessor (City & Guilds)
Birmingham | £44,000 plus benefits | teaching City & Guilds electrical qualifications
The opportunity
Our client, an established training provider delivering electrical qualifications to learners across the West Midlands, is looking for an experienced electrician ready to move off the tools and into training and assessing.
This is a role for someone who knows the trade inside out and wants to pass that knowledge on, rather than someone looking for an easy step back from site work. You will be working with learners at different stages, from apprentices through to experienced electricians upskilling or converting qualifications, so patience and the ability to explain things clearly matter as much as technical depth.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
