United Kingdom onlyAre you an experienced laboratory technician looking for a change of career?
Are you passionate about making a difference through the power of apprenticeships?
Are you ready to join a pacey, progressive organisation that's all about its people?
We're Tiro - a leading provider of science and technology apprenticeships. We've got big ambitions and are looking for a Work Based Learning Coach to join our team to support learners through their Level 3 Laboratory Technician qualification. In particular, we would love to hear from applicants with a background in Polymer Manufacturing.
We’ve been helping hungry apprentices to join ambitious businesses since 2005. At Tiro, we really believe that great apprenticeships help everyone. Because there are remarkable apprentices out there just waiting to be found, and fantastic employment opportunities waiting to be filled. But our work will never be just about getting bums on seats and pocketing our commission. In our own small way, we’re helping to change the world – finding people that are working on COVID vaccines, finding new ways for technology to help humanity and helping to tackle the big issues of the day, like climate change. We’re proud to be playing our part in making that happen, and we’re looking for more like-minded people to join team Tiro.

About You
We don't believe in an itemised list of requirements to work at Tiro - we're looking for someone who has the the right attitude and aptitude. Who knows their own mind and isn’t afraid to have a strong opinion. Who likes to work under their own steam and doesn’t want or need to be micromanaged. Who gets a thrill from helping some of Britain’s best businesses grow. And who’s genuinely passionate about the worlds of science and technology.
In this role, we're looking for someone who is obsessed with all things science and can't wait to share their knowledge and experience with the next generation of Laboratory Technicians. You will be able to bring laboratory technician concepts and information to life to inspire your learners to apply their newfound skills in the workplace. You'll have a passion for learning and thrive on seeing those 'lightbulb' moments happen!
You’ll be happiest when in our customers' labs and facilities across the UK with learners and other stakeholders watching learning come to life.
You'll be a self-starter who thrives in a pacey environment. You'll be an excellent collaborator who loves nothing more than working alongside your teammates to achieve success. You'll rise to the challenge and never shy away from sharing feedback. You’ll give the role your all, be unafraid to take the odd calculated risk, and will fundamentally challenge us, because if you don’t change Tiro, you can’t succeed.

Failure to declare any convictions (that are not subject to DBS filtering) may disqualify you from joining Tiro.
