Freelance Health and Social Care Trainer

You are busy, fed up with employers promising you the world then letting you down and you don’t have much time on your hands to faff around with job applications.

We get it and the last thing we would want to do is waste your time.

We are asking all applicants to read the job description fully and not to scroll down to the pay section and apply.

 

Why is this important?

For many reasons but ultimately your time is valuable and if we are not a good fit at the job description part, we wouldn’t want to take up any more of your time.

 

What are we looking for?

Experienced Health and Social Care trainers who enjoy passing on their up-to-date knowledge to learners of different levels.

You must be:

· Confident in your communication skills to be able to teach a variety of different levels of staff within health and social care including phone calls.

· Reliable – we highly value the efforts of our customers to arrange training. We understand that on occasions life may get in the way and plans change but are unable to work with individuals who don’t value our customers’ time and frequently cancel commitments at short notice.

· IT literate – it is essential that you are able to use email, zoom, whatsapp, team calendar (only office staff have access to what is entered). Using online forms such as register, trainer evaluations, showing learners where to get the online feedback form and using it to request hotel stays and equipment if needed.

· Excellent time management – we ask all trainers to make us aware 48 hours in advance in case paperwork etc has not arrived. This gives us chance to sort it out for smooth running of courses. We provide all paperwork and course materials.

· Have experience of working within Health and Social Care and have hands on and theory subject knowledge as well as previous teaching experience (PTLLS or equivalent required).

· Honest- if we ask you to do a course and you don’t have the experience simply say no. This won’t have a negative impact on us working with you in the future and we would much prefer this way of working.

· Adaptable and flexible – sometimes the postman is late, and we must think on our feet using all of our experience, sometimes projectors don’t work but there is still a class or eager delegates waiting for an enjoyable and informative session. It is vital that you are experienced in both subject and training to, from time to time, work with what is available and that may be just your knowledge and a flipchart – this should not result in a negative experience for trainers or delegates.

· Have experience with completing documentation accurately and sending it in by the end of the training session. This is the class register and trainer evaluation form.

We appreciate that you may not solely work for us and may have other commitments, but we treat our freelance trainers as team members and are looking to grow our team with people who want to support us and represent Caring for Care as much as we support our trainers.

Consider what would you want in a trainer if you were a delegate or if your loved one requires care and support who would you want to train the staff? This is the trainer we want.

 

Essentials:

1. Full driving licence
2. Experience within health and social care
