About the Role

As a Trainer at St John Ambulance, you will be responsible for delivering and assessing a variety of First Aid and Health & Safety training courses to our workplace and community training customers.

The main requirement is to train our 1,2 and 3-day first aid courses, but we are also the country’s leading provider of Fire Marshal and IOSH Managing Safely training as well as fast-becoming a major player in mental health and wellbeing courses. All our trainers deliver the first aid suite and for that we need candidates to have a level 3 assessing and teaching/training qualification (such as CiLD).

During the Coronavirus pandemic we ceased most training however we are now building back up, have adapted our courses and implemented social distancing and other measures. We are seeing significant customer demand but need to be able to respond to the changing circumstances, especially when social distancing measures ease which will allow us to train more courses and more delegates per course. Therefore, we are ideally looking for people who are able to be flexible and adaptable. We anticipate that between November 2020 and March 2021 no Trainer will work more than 4-days per week, but there will be the option to be full time after then. We also have opportunities to work on casual terms, where you would be able to choose which courses you do - at attractive assignment rates.

Our courses receive incredible customer satisfaction ratings because we believe they are the best on the market delivered by passionate, well-trained, adaptable trainers in cohesive teams supported by expert advice and guidance. We are an organisation that truly believes in giving delegates not just the certificate, but the skills and confidence to make a difference when the time comes. We do that by making our courses interactive, enjoyable and practical as well as assessing understanding throughout the course. We also all seek to live the values of the organisation every day, those of humanity, excellence, accountability, responsiveness, and teamwork. If that sounds like something you could fit into, then please get in touch.

Most of the time you would be working in one area and on weekdays in our training venues (we have around 200 across the country), in addition you would run courses on customer premises and travel to other areas when necessary (so you need to be able to get yourself there, with the required equipment) and occasionally do courses at weekends or in the evening.

Please see the job description for more detail (this can be viewed on our website or once you click apply)

Summary of what we are looking for:

· Trainers with an Assessing and Training Qualification at Level 3 or above (eg CiLD)
· People who are passionate and engaging, adaptable and flexible
· First aid training experience would be a distinct advantage.
· Permanent roles at either 3 or 4 days per week (with full time, 5 days/week likely to be available after March 2021)
· Casual roles at attractive assignment rates
· We are also interested in hearing from people who are NEBOSH qualified to deliver safety courses on a casual basis

Head of Training & Employment

Location - Flexible, with majority of time spent at NOAH sites in and around Bedfordshire

Salary - £42-47,000

Contract – full time, permanent

Could you head up our Training & Employment functions and work with us to offer hope and support to people struggling against homelessness and exclusion across Bedfordshire?

Background

NOAH (New Opportunities and Horizons) is a Luton-based charity working across Bedfordshire, offering hope and support to people struggling against homelessness and exclusion. For over 30 years NOAH has been working to provide support for people with complex needs who have nowhere else to turn. Our staff, volunteers, partners and benefactors, provide a combination that is dedicated to recognising the potential in people who have experienced disability and helping them to realise it. We have come through some tough times with them to create an organisation that can do extraordinary things.

At the heart of our vision is a belief in the fundamental dignity and worth of every individual.  Last year we met and worked with over 600 people through our Welfare Centre. We helped 353 people into accommodation and trained over 800 people in a range of skills. Since 2015 over 350 have been assisted into employment.

Appointment of a Head of Training & Employment

We are recruiting for a Head of Training and Employment to join our Senior Management Team.  Reporting into the CEO, this role represents an exciting opportunity to have a real impact on the work we do to offer hope and support to people struggling against homelessness and exclusion.

The Head of Training and Employment provides strategic leadership for the development and operations of the NOAH Academy. The post-holder has overall responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the NOAH Academy and oversees a budget of c.£1M.

The NOAH Academy is well-respected across Bedfordshire for helping people experiencing disadvantage to regain their confidence and gain employment. The Academy has grown significantly in recent years, and the challenge is to capitalise on new opportunities, whilst continuing to provide a caring and trauma-informed service and ensuring financial and operational sustainability.

The NOAH Academy operates projects which are free at the point of entry to our clients. However, through those projects, the Academy will increasingly be providing services to other NOAH departments, namely staff recruitment via our in-house agency Rainbow, staff training, and building & grounds maintenance. During the 2021-26 strategy period, all three of these services will be commercialised to bring in new revenue streams to NOAH, to be re-invested into our services for the most disadvantaged. The Head of Training and Employment is accountable for achieving this strategic objective.

This role presents an opportunity to work with an established organisation which is well respected across Bedfordshire for helping people experiencing disadvantage to regain their confidence and gain employment.

Application is by CV and a covering letter which should indicate why you are interested in applying for the role and how you meet the role requirements.
