Who we are

Winner of the Best Place to Work at the Tech South West Awards 2025, City College Plymouth offers a culture the College is proud of. Our core values of Respect, Ownership and Integrity help create an environment that supports a passion for teaching and learning. These values guide our work as we enrich our community through knowledge, experience and skills so every student can achieve their best.

As one of the country’s largest providers of quality education and training, City College Plymouth is entering a period of transition to enable us to propel education into the future. We take pride in offering a learning environment and organisational culture that contribute positively to the health, wellbeing and sustainability of our community and enable all our students and staff to achieve their full potential.

The Role

To guide, support, and assess apprentices throughout their apprenticeship programme, ensuring they develop the knowledge, skills, and behaviours required to achieve their standard. Acting as the vital link between the apprentice, the employer, and the training provider, the Assessor ensures high-quality delivery that meets Ofsted standards and Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) compliance guidelines, ultimately preparing learners for a successful End-Point Assessment (EPA).

What Will You Bring to the Role

Composure: When faced with external setbacks, the assessor must maintain complete composure and determination to guide the learner back on track.

Adapting: An assessor must switch efficiently between diverse tasks daily, seamlessly moving from conducting a formal progress review with an apprentice to giving feedback on a business project or handling unexpected changes to an employer's schedule.

Decision-Making: Assessors must remain focused and controlled in time-sensitive situations, making quick, appropriate decisions regarding a learner’s readiness for their End-Point Assessment (EPA)

Navigating Uncertainty: Because workplaces and learner circumstances can change rapidly, an assessor must confidently navigate uncertainty, learning from past experiences to anticipate and mitigate risks to a learner's progress.

Benefits

City College Plymouth will offer you;

Holiday: 29 days plus bank holidays and College Closure over Christmas.
Career development opportunities.
Generous contributions towards your pension.
Free tea, coffee and lunch in our dedicated staff lounge.

How we recruit

We aim to recruit based on potential, not experience. We are interested in seeing your behaviours in action and how they will help you become successful at City College Plymouth, giving everyone the opportunity to show their potential, regardless of background or experience.

After completing our online application form, you will be asked to complete an online assessment within a few days of this Vacancy closing. This assessment asks you no questions at all. Instead, it observes your behaviour and natural strengths in action, with a series of engaging, intuitive tasks. You will receive a report outlining your behaviours once you have completed the assessment, regardless of whether you progress to the next stage or not, providing you with some feedback.

The College welcomes applications from service leavers and the Armed Forces community, and supports those service leavers who are Reservists in any of the Armed Forces.

The College reserves the right to close this advertisement early if sufficient applications have been received.
