Your experience in industry combined with an enthusiasm for developing the next generation of Health & Social Care professionals will make you an important role model for your learners. Practice Educators work as part of a team of professionals from all areas of the Health & Care Industry.

The assessor is responsible for the consolidation on learning around knowledge, skills, and behaviours though a range of assessment and training methods. 

They will also work collaboratively with employers, support teams, and Maths & English tutors to ensure that all learners are receiving outstanding quality equitable, holistic support throughout their study programme.
