You'll help develop the next generation of Radio Network Technicians while working on a specialist programme that's critical to operational capability\nYou'll benefit from:\nA predominantly home-based role with significant flexibility\nThe opportunity to develop coaching and assessment qualifications and skills. \nThe chance to work with military apprentices and subject matter experts across the programme. \nA varied role that combines coaching, mentoring, assessment and technical expertise. \nOngoing CPD and professional development opportunities.\nLocation & Working Pattern\nLocation: South West England / Bovington Area.\nWorking Pattern: Primarily remote, home-based working with approximately one day per week at Bovington to support delivery activities and learners.
