As an introduction to this role you will receive training in current industry practices, an opportunity to shadow one of our current instructors and a work based mentor to help you settle in to your position.
This role involves preparing candidates for assessment within a set timescale so the successful applicant will need to be efficient and motivated in supporting others to succeed.
The number of courses is dependent on demand but could be one to three courses a month. The length of each course varies from 2 to 5 days.
HLNSC is committed to equality of opportunity, safeguarding including the Prevent Duty and promotes the welfare of all learners and expects all members of staff to share this commitment.
