CISRS Scaffolding Instructor/Assessor/Skills Coach (SOMAX – Weston-super-Mare)

We are seeking to add to our team of CISRS Instructors at our SOMAX centre in Weston-super-Mare, in conjunction with our partners, Weston College, and we are looking to recruit Scaffolders/existing CISRS Instructors who wish to progress their careers and share their skills and experience with others progressing in the industry.

As a provider rated as ‘GOOD’ by Ofsted, we are offering an excellent package that includes target earnings of £48k p/a, 30 days annual leave, a five-day week and a stakeholder pension. Additional pay is available to those willing to work away from home in our other CISRS centres.

Candidates who are not already qualified for this role must:

be qualified to CISRS Advanced Scaffolder level and must have held that qualification for a minimum period of five years;

or

be qualified to CISRS Scaffolder level and have been so for a minimum period of 10 years.

Full training and mentoring will be provided for those that require it, and development will be in accordance with our Instructor development plan, which aims to return fully qualified CISRS Instructors within one year of commencing employment.  In order to achieve development within one year, shadowing may be required to take place in our other CISRS centres.  Candidates should be willing to travel to achieve this.

The first 6-12 months of development will be centred on learning about the apprentice journey and the processes involved, and this will require you to use your scaffolding experience to coach, mentor, encourage and develop apprentice scaffolders by carrying out periodic reviews of their progress. This work will be both centre and site-based.

Candidates must be based within a commutable distance of our Weston centre, as accommodation and travel allowance is not available for this role. However, travel to other SIMIAN centres (and overnight stays away from home – initially in week-long blocks) will be required for those in development, so a willingness to travel is essential.

Those with an interest in this position can download the full job description and an application form here. When making a formal application, interested parties should include a covering letter, and they should ensure that the application form is completed in full, as incomplete applications will be rejected.

Applicants should be aware that job offers will be subject to satisfactory reference and DBS checks. A criminal record does not necessarily preclude employment, as this will be risk assessed.
