Knowledge Specialist (Trainer/Assessor): Plumbing and Heating

Our assessors have a distinctive mix of talent.  They are sector relevant, having gained significant expertise to know their sector inside out, being ‘credible’ in their field.  They are ingenious at imparting knowledge and skill to others, bringing alive and sharing their sector expertise in a way that will develop our apprentices to become experts in their own right.  They are equally comfortable engaging with the managing director of the business as they are the apprentice. 

This role will assess apprentices completing Plumbing & Heating Apprenticeships in the workplace and support the apprentices’ progress through the relevant programmes at intermediate and advanced levels. The role requires regular attendance at the Station Park Construction Centre, liaising with technical delivery staff and supporting apprentices with the knowledge requirements. The successful candidate would be within the Mansfield area or reside at a location that allows a daily commute to WNC sites such as Chesterfield Road, Station Park and the surrounding area.

We measure our success by how many of our clients achieve their apprenticeship programme and are happy with the service.   We also measure how many of our employers value the services we provide to their business and the contribution our apprentices make.
