Job summary
The
Respect Training Team currently comprises one permanent Senior Trainer and one
contract Trainer who delivers training four days per month. We are a trading
arm of Navigo CIC, with a growing customer base located across the UK. The
demand for our training has significantly increased, requiring extensive travel
and delivery commitments.
Due
to the high volume of travel and training delivery, the well-being of our
current Senior Trainer is being impacted. The role involves frequent
long-distance travel, overnight stays, and intensive training sessions, which
are becoming unsustainable for a single individual to manage effectively. This
poses a risk to service continuity and quality, especially as our customer base
continues to expand.
To
maintain service standards, ensure trainer well-being, and meet contractual
obligations with external clients, it is essential that we recruit an
additional Senior Trainer sooner than the standard 14-week time frame. Delaying
recruitment could result in training cancellations, reputational damage, and
potential financial implications.
Early recruitment
will allow for a structured onboarding process, shadowing opportunities, and a
smoother transition to full delivery responsibilities, ensuring resilience
within the team and safeguarding the quality of our services.
Please note: The earliest start date for this position is 01st December 2025
Main duties of the job
Join our dedicated Respect Training team as a Senior
Trainer and make a tangible difference in safeguarding and care across the UK.
Were looking for someone with an in-depth understanding of the Restraint
Reduction Network Standards and a passion for delivering engaging, sensitive
training. This is a dynamic and impactful role, offering scope to shape best
practice and influence cultural change across diverse sectors. You'll work
closely with a supportive team, contributing to quality assurance, programme development,
and the expansion of our national reach.
