Permanent Trainers

IT Trainer -- Starting Salary: £25k
Business Skills/Sales Trainer -- Starting Salary: £30k

You will be an experienced, confident trainer with proven skills in the delivery of training, as well as the people skills necessary to motivate delegates and impress clients.   You will also have an interest in, and a flair for, writing and developing course content and a desire to play a real part in developing our business on the professional and quality-driven basis we have created.

Training is, as you know, a varied and challenging (though rewarding) marketplace, and you need to have a flexible approach and genuine dedication to helping us to achieve total customer satisfaction.   You will be a team player who can contribute to the atmosphere of excellence and success that we are building.

There will be an average of four days' training per week. Non-training days will be primarily devoted to course preparation, further enhancement of our product offering through new or improved courseware, and assistance with the quality management of our centres.

We have an exciting future, and there is great potential for development of your career and salary as we grow further.

Please with your CV and salary expectations in the first instance if you would like to discuss the role further.

Associate Trainers

We are always looking for excellent people to join our select group of associate trainers.

You will be an established training contractor who regularly delivers training on behalf of third parties such as training companies, and understands the role and the requirements.   (This is a specialised and crucial role, so you will not be someone who is "looking for a change" or "between jobs", nor will you be someone who usually takes on longer term contracts.)

You will be experienced in the delivery of training for the courses listed on our website, such as IT applications (predominantly Microsoft Office, Crystal Reports, etc), or workplace/business skills subjects such as Employee Skills, Management Development or Sales training.

Associate trainers can progress to contract status where we work very closely together on individual jobs, projects or in a general working partnership.

Whatever the case, if you feel that your skills and experience are relevant, please with details of what you can offer as an associate, and of the daily rate you require.

An excellent CV with good references from satisfied business clients will be required.
