Description

Science Coach

Laboratory Science | Process Manufacturing | Construction Materials Testing

Help shape the next generation of scientists.

Some people spend their careers doing incredible technical work.

Others spend their careers helping others become incredible.

At Tiro, our Science Coaches do both.

We're looking for experienced industry professionals who are ready for something different. People who've built real credibility in laboratory science, manufacturing or materials testing and now want to use that expertise to develop the next generation.

This isn't classroom teaching.

It's coaching. Challenging. Encouraging. Helping learners connect what they're learning with the realities of the workplace. Working alongside employers to develop confident, capable scientists and technicians who'll go on to make a real difference.

If you've always been the person colleagues come to for advice, enjoy helping others develop, and want a career that combines science with purpose, we'd love to hear from you.

We're recruiting across three specialist areas

Laboratory Science

You'll have experience working within laboratory environments, supporting scientific testing, analysis, quality assurance or technical laboratory operations. You understand good laboratory practice, compliance and what great science looks like in the real world.

Process Manufacturing

You'll bring experience from process manufacturing environments such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food production, polymers or related sectors. You'll understand production processes, continuous improvement, quality systems and the importance of safe, efficient operations.

Construction Materials or Physical Materials Testing

You'll have worked in construction materials or physical materials testing, with experience of testing concrete, aggregates, asphalt, soils, polymers or similar materials. You'll understand technical standards, quality assurance and interpreting test results in practice.

What you'll be doing.

What you'll be doing

As a Science Coach you'll work with a caseload of apprentices and their employers, helping learners develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours they'll need to build successful careers.

You'll:

Coach and support learners through their learning journey.
Visit employers to see learning applied in real workplace environments.
Build strong relationships with learners, workplace mentors and employer stakeholders.
Stretch and challenge apprentices to achieve outstanding outcomes.
Use your technical expertise to bring learning to life through meaningful coaching conversations.
Keep your own industry knowledge current and continue developing your own expertise.
Play an active role in improving how we deliver exceptional science apprenticeships.

We're looking for people who...

We're much more interested in your industry experience than whether you've worked in education before.

You'll probably have.

Significant experience within one of our specialist sectors.
A passion for developing people and sharing your expertise.
The ability to explain complex technical concepts in a way that others understand.
Strong relationship-building skills and genuine curiosity about people.
High standards, good organisation and a proactive approach to solving problems.
A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel to employer sites.

If you've mentored apprentices, trained colleagues, supervised junior staff or simply enjoy helping others succeed, we'd particularly love to hear from you.

Why Tiro?

We're on a mission to change lives through work-based learning opportunities.

Every learner represents someone's future colleague, future scientist or future leader. Every employer is investing in capability that will shape the future of their business.

That's why we care deeply about quality. We care about doing things properly. And we care about finding people who share our belief that developing others is one of the most rewarding things you can do.
