Assessors needed!

Due to increased volumes of apprentices LEIA are looking for assessors to work on a casual associate basis.

The areas of experience they are looking for are:

  • Lift service and repair

  • Escalator installation

  • Escalator service and repair

  • Stairlift installation and repair (based in the South half of England)

  • Platform and Service Lift installation and service and repair

All the assessment team need to be qualified in assessment delivery, or working towards a qualification. For the right applicants LEIA may be able to assist with this.

They also require recent occupational competence within the last three years.

LEIA offer competitive rates of pay on a ‘per apprentice’ basis, induction and ongoing support and CPD opportunities.
