Further details about the role

Are you passionate about your trade/industry and looking to do something different? Do you think you could teach, but don’t want to be based in a classroom Monday – Friday?

Milton Keynes College are looking for a Workplace Trainer with expert Commis Chef skills. You will work in collaboration with the Apprenticeship delivery team to develop and deliver current programmes including Commis Chef – the apprenticeship standards dictate that you must be qualified to at least Level 2 or above yourself and have relevant industrial technical competence/experience.

As a Workplace Trainer, your role will be dynamic, varied and highly rewarding - working with employers, apprentices and the college curriculum teams. You will have some autonomy with your diary, with the expectation of certain days/times on campus delivering face to face lessons, appointments to be scheduled with employers at their workplace and some working from home also supported.

You will be teaching for 2 days a week in our Bletchley campus and have a further ½ day for planning and marking on another day. Workplace trainers are assigned a caseload of apprentices to train and assess throughout the evolution of their apprenticeship. Our apprentices’ journey runs all year round, therefore you are able to take your annual leave at any time of the year.

We are looking for enthusiastic and skilled individuals to motivate and inspire learners to develop their skills and enable progression in to their chosen careers. No previous teaching experience? Don’t let this put you off… If you are a passionate person with the capacity to become a great teacher we can provide the training to help you achieve your full potential, just as we expect you to be able to help our students achieve theirs.
