Vocational Trainer and Assessor, Foundation Skills

Casual Temporary Mid-level

Posted 10 Jul 2026

Description

If you know how to help adults build the skills that open every other door, this is where that expertise becomes something lasting.

Foundation Skills is core to what we do at The Community College, and we're looking for a trainer who understands how much language, literacy, numeracy and digital skills shape someone's chances in work and life. This isn't a role for someone who's dabbled. It's for someone who's worked with adults building these skills from wherever they're starting, and knows what it actually takes to help someone move forward, not just what the textbook says.

What the role looks like

You will be delivering accredited Foundation Skills training and conducting assessment for adult learners across the Illawarra, Shoalhaven and Southern Highlands, working alongside our Program Specialists to make sure delivery lines up with learner needs, industry standards and ASQA requirements.

It's a community facing role as much as a classroom one. Many of your learners will be building confidence alongside new skills, so you'll need patience, warmth and the ability to meet people where they're at, especially those who are still finding their feet.

Day to day, that means running engaging sessions, giving feedback that actually helps people improve, keeping accurate records, and working closely with your team to keep raising the bar on quality. You'll also be someone learners can talk to when things outside the classroom are getting in the way of their progress, and know how to point them toward the right support.

Who you'll be working with

Many of our learners come to us facing real barriers,



whether that's economic hardship, social isolation, disability, or the lasting effects of difficult life experiences. Some are rebuilding literacy or numeracy skills after years away from formal education. Others are navigating study for the first time, often alongside challenges most classrooms don't make room for. This role calls for someone who can hold space for that. Not by lowering the bar on what you teach, but by bringing genuine patience, understanding and a trauma informed approach to how you teach it.

Who we're looking for

We want someone with real, current experience teaching or assessing Foundation Skills, whether that's language, literacy, numeracy or digital literacy, and the credentials to back it up. You don't need to have worked in an RTO before. If you're confident in your Foundation Skills expertise but recent to that side of things, we'd still love to talk to you. What matters most is that you know this space, and you know how to work with people, particularly people who might be facing disadvantage of any kind.

What you'll bring

A Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (TAE) or equivalent, current and relevant experience in Foundation Skills delivery or LLN assessment, and a genuine track record of helping adults build these skills. You'll also need the right to work in Australia and be able to obtain a Working with Children Check and National Police Check.

WEA Co is committed to equity, inclusion and creating opportunities for people from all backgrounds. We strongly encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people with disability, and people from culturally and linguistically diverse communities.
