Nottingham College is seeking to appoint an experienced and motivated Electrical Skills Trainer to support the delivery of our Level 3 City & Guilds Electrical provision, including technical training, practical skills development and apprenticeship support.

This role will focus on developing apprentices’ and learners’ competence across electrical installation, maintenance, inspection, testing, fault diagnosis, electrical principles and safe working practices.

Whether you are demonstrating hands-on techniques, breaking down complex concepts, or supporting learners on their journey to skilled employment, you will create an engaging and supportive learning environment that builds both confidence and competence.

This opportunity is ideal if you are an experienced electrician, electrical maintenance technician, workplace assessor or trainer looking to share your knowledge and inspire others. You’ll work closely with apprentices, employers and colleagues to deliver high-quality training across workshop, classroom and workplace settings, while maintaining strong professional standards and a focus on health and safety.
