Description

Tiro is a leading training provider for science and technology apprenticeships. We’ve been helping hungry apprentices to join ambitious businesses since 2005. At Tiro, we really believe that great apprenticeships help everyone. Because there are remarkable apprentices out there just waiting to be found, and fantastic employment opportunities waiting to be filled. But our work will never be just about getting bums on seats and pocketing our commission. In our own small way, we’re helping to change the world – finding people that are working on COVID vaccines, finding new ways for technology to help humanity and helping to tackle the big issues of the day, like climate change. We’re proud to be playing our part in making that happen, and we’re looking for more like-minded people to join team Tiro.

This role involve contact with learners from 16 year old upwards. Tiro is committed to the safeguarding and well-being of all of our learners, staff and customers. We fully recognise our responsibilities for protecting vulnerable groups. It is the policy of Tiro to promote the safety, health and well-being of all children, young people and adults at risk that we works with – both directly and indirectly. We respect, value and listen to everyone as an individual. Safeguarding checks will be undertaken as part of your application for this role and if you're successful, you'll be required to complete a Disclosure Form from the Disclosure and Barring Service ("DBS") for the position. Failure to declare any convictions (that are not subject to DBS filtering) may disqualify you from joining Tiro.

We will take all possible steps to prevent unsuitable persons working with young or vulnerable learners and in doing so will follow the good practice contained within the legislative document Safeguarding Children and Safer Recruitment in Education (2019)

The Role

In this role you’ll be helping to change the world through science and technology apprenticeships with your OBSESSION for developing the next generation of Laboratory Technicians.

You’ll TENACIOUSLY drive the progress of your learners, keeping them on track to complete their training programme. Combining your Laboratory testing and technician background, with super awesome coaching and feedback skills, you’ll COACH your learners to embed workplace experiences, ensuring knowledge transfer which accelerates the competency of your learners.

As a strong RELATIONSHIP BUILDER – you’ll partner with employer stakeholders, mentors and learners to anticipate, spot and address issues/challenges, nipping them in the bud to keep learners progressing with their learning. You’ll be determined to stretch and challenge your learners to achieve beyond their wildest dreams. You’ll prepare your learners to complete their programme – supporting them to strive towards distinction success!

About you

We’re looking for someone whose an INDUSTRY PRO – has done the job and got the t-shirt – working in Laboratory Testing or Materials Testing Industries.

You’ll LOVE using your expertise to coach and mentor the development of others. Your SPECIALITY… turning complex Laboratory technician information into ‘lightbulb’ moments. You’ll THRIVE on engaging and inspiring people with your ability to communicate and relate to others.

You’ll be a catalyst for GROWTH by not shying away from sharing feedback and addressing challenges. As a SELF-STARTER, you’ll be TRUSTED to work autonomously and take responsibility for figuring out the best way to deliver stellar learning experiences. You’ll be HAPPIEST when in our customer’s labs and facilities across the UK with learners and other stakeholders.

Even if this doesn’t sound quite like you, but you still think you could do a great job in the role, get in touch. We have loads of examples of colleagues at Tiro who've come from outside of the apprenticeship Industry and are absolutely smashing it! As such, we’re always open to wildcards. If you're an industry pro and have never done this exact role before BUT you have an obsession for developing others - we want to hear from you, as we'll train you up! We’re not just interested in experience and qualifications, we’re looking for someone with the right attitude and aptitude to fit right in at Tiro. Someone who knows their own mind and isn’t afraid to have a strong opinion. Someone that likes to work under their own steam and doesn’t want or need to be micromanaged. Who gets a thrill from helping some of Britain’s best businesses grow. And who’s genuinely curious about the worlds of science and technology. You’ll give the role your all, be unafraid to take the odd calculated risk, and will fundamentally challenge us, because if you don’t change Tiro, you can’t succeed.

We love people. The apprentices who’re brimming with potential. The business leaders who are crying out for extra help. And our fantastic team who make it all happen. And if you love people, you treat them well. You pay them what they’re worth. You coach and support them. And give them the opportunities to progress. You take a chance on people because you see something special, and you know they’re worth it.

At Tiro, we’ll look after you because we’re nothing without our people. We’ll never take you for granted and we’ll make sure work’s fun and rewarding. And in turn, we’ll ask you to treat our clients and our apprentices the same way – helping to give people their first big break and enabling businesses to grow.
