Vocational Trainers — Catholic Residential School for Young Women

We are recruiting trade trainers to deliver hands-on training aligned with National Skills Qualification (NSQ) / NBTE standards, leading students to government-recognised trade certification.
The first six months (January–June 2027) are a taster phase — all students rotate through every trade in groups. Each student then chooses one trade and trains in it intensively for approximately one year, through to certification readiness. Trainers deliver both phases: broad foundation teaching to rotating groups, then in-depth training to their dedicated cohort.

• Deliver structured, hands-on training in the assigned trade to national (NSQ/NBTE) standards
• Develop a practical training plan covering the full programme, from foundation skills to certification readiness
• Assess students continuously and build each student's assessment evidence portfolio as required for NSQ certification
• Manage tools, materials, and workshop safety; keep accurate usage and inventory records
• Instil professional work habits: punctuality, finishing, quality, and customer mindset
• Work within the school's Catholic ethos and residential routine
• Recognised trade qualification and a minimum of 3 years' proven practical experience in the trade — a portfolio and practical demonstration will be required at interview
• NSQ Level 3 certification in the trade, OR demonstrable competence with willingness to obtain NSQ Level 3 through Recognition of Prior Learning (school-supported); attainment of certification is a condition of confirmed engagement
• Prior experience training apprentices or students preferred
• Female candidates preferred, given the residential setting
