Who We Are

We are Polaris, one of the UK’s largest leading communities of children’s service providers. Within the community, we have independent fostering and adoption agencies who have been passionately improving the lives of young people for over 30 years, as well as leaving care services, education and bespoke children’s services contracts. Our nurturing community works collectively to support the very best outcomes for each and every child in our care. We’re ambitious for our children and young people, families and staff, and believe in their futures.

You’ll be part of a warm, ambitious, values-driven team that really cares about the work we do.

What This Role Is All About

We’re looking for a creative, passionate person who loves training, people, and a bit of adventure.

As our Trainer, you’ll:

• Deliver engaging learning sessions in schools, residential homes, online webinars – wherever the learners are.
• Design fun, fresh, structured training content that actually sticks.
• Create high-quality resources for our virtual learning environment.
• Bring energy, enthusiasm and confidence to every group you work with – big or small.
• Collaborate closely with colleagues from across the organisation, shaping courses that make a real difference.

Occasional travel to our offices, schools and Bromsgrove/Milton Keynes head office is part of the role.

Who You Are

You’re the kind of person who:

• Loves teaching, presenting or facilitating and feels totally at home in a face-to-face setting or on a webinar.
• Brings energy, humour, and connection into every session.
• Can stay calm and professional even when things get busy.
• Enjoys juggling multiple tasks and can prioritise effectively.
• Loves working as part of a team and building relationships.
• Has solid IT skills (Microsoft Office including PowerPoint, and LMS systems) and a flair for producing high-quality learning content.
• Is happy to run the occasional early evening/twilight session when needed.

It’s great if you have training/teaching qualifications or VLE experience – but if you’ve got the passion and skills, we definitely want to hear from you.
