Skills Trainer (Repairs & Maintenance)
Want to turn your trade skills into a career that changes lives? Join Peabody as a Repairs and Maintenance Skills Trainer and inspire the next generation.
What You’ll Do
Your typical day could start with preparing and delivering engaging lessons to apprentices in the classroom, online or out in the workplace, helping them build practical skills across multi-trade disciplines. You might then be supporting learners 1-2-1, reviewing progress against their individual learning plans, before working on curriculum development or preparing learners for End Point Assessment (EPA).
As a Skills Trainer, you’ll be responsible for designing, delivering and supporting high-quality training that enables apprentices to succeed and progress in their careers. With a strong focus on learner experience, engagement and achievement, you’ll help improve attendance, retention and outcomes, ensuring every learner has the support they need to thrive.
Your role covers teaching, coaching, assessment and curriculum development, alongside working closely with colleagues and stakeholders to ensure outstanding standards of learning and compliance. If you’re driven by making a real difference to people’s careers and communities, we’d love to hear from you.
What We’re Looking For
You’re someone who is passionate about developing others. You’ll enjoy motivating and inspiring learners from a range of backgrounds, using your technical expertise and people skills to bring learning to life. Whether you’re already an experienced trainer or new to teaching, we’ll support your development including funding a Level 5 Learning & Skills Apprenticeship if needed.
