If you’re an Apprenticeship Assessor or Skills Coach (or you’re looking to become one), you’ll know the market moves quickly. One week it’s “urgent hire”, the next week it’s “can you start yesterday?”.

At the National Skills Agency (NSA), we specialise in helping candidates find the latest assessor jobs and skills coach roles across the UK — working with training providers and further education colleges delivering apprenticeship standards, NVQs, and work-based learning programmes.

What types of Assessor and Skills Coach jobs are available?

Assessor and Skills Coach roles exist across a huge range of apprenticeship standards and vocational qualifications. We regularly recruit for opportunities including (but definitely not limited to):

• Health and Social Care Assessor jobs

• HR / People Practice Assessor jobs

• Leadership & Management Skills Coach roles

• Digital Marketing Assessor jobs

• Software Development Skills Coach roles

• Business Administration Assessor jobs

• Customer Service Assessor jobs

• Team Leading / Supervisor Skills Coach roles

• Warehousing & Logistics Assessor jobs

• Supply Chain Assessor jobs

• Construction Assessor jobs

• Childcare / Early Years Assessor jobs

• Hospitality Assessor jobs

• Retail Assessor jobs

In short: if there’s an apprenticeship standard or NVQ out there, someone needs a great coach/assessor to deliver it — and we’re usually asked to find them.

Remote, hybrid, or home-based with travel?

One of the most common questions we get is: “Is it remote?”
The answer is: sometimes — and it depends.

Assessor and Skills Coach roles typically fall into one of these delivery models:

• Home-based with travel – you deliver remotely, but travel to see learners (and sometimes employers) for visits, observations, reviews, or workshops.

• Hybrid – a blend of remote delivery and occasional office/team days or classroom sessions.

• Fully remote – delivery is completed online with minimal to no travel (more common in certain standards and delivery models).

What you’ll find is that the approach can vary by employer, sector, learner needs, and the specific standard. Two providers can deliver the same programme in completely different ways — so it’s worth checking the detail before you fall in love with the job title.
