Help turn understanding into better care

Are you an approved Oliver McGowan Tier 2 Lead Trainer who combines confident facilitation with genuine respect for lived experience?

PRISM Star Training is recruiting experienced Lead Trainers for The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism.

We want to work with professionals who help learners challenge assumptions, understand individual needs and make practical improvements to the support autistic people and people with a learning disability receive.

This is an opportunity to bring your specialist expertise to a care-led training provider that values thoughtful delivery, professional collaboration and meaningful learning.

About PRISM Star Training

Care providers, for care providers.

Our leadership team actively works in social care. We understand the importance of training that translates into better everyday practice, and we place person-centred support, dignity and human rights at the centre of our approach.

We are expanding our associate network and looking to build lasting working relationships with knowledgeable, reliable trainers.

The role

You will lead and co-deliver Tier 2 training, working collaboratively with autistic expert co-trainers and expert co-trainers with a learning disability.

Your responsibilities will include:

· Delivering the required programme content using the prescribed materials, structure and learning outcomes.

· Preparing collaboratively with co-trainers and respecting their expertise, communication preferences and support needs.

· Facilitating sensitive discussions, addressing misconceptions respectfully and encouraging reflection.

· Helping learners connect the training to communication, reasonable adjustments and person-centred support.

· Completing required records and evaluations and participating in relevant quality-assurance processes.

· Where separately agreed and within your authorisation, delivering preparation programmes for facilitating trainers and expert co-trainers.

Programme-specific eligibility

Applicants must already hold approved Tier 2 Lead Trainer status.

You must be able to evidence successful completion of the relevant Lead Trainer preparation and quality-assurance process, together with your approval and trainer number. Attending a course alone is not sufficient without the required approval.

Lead Trainer status is distinct from Facilitating Trainer status and includes the authorised preparation of facilitating trainers and expert co-trainers.

What you will bring

Essential

· Verifiable Oliver McGowan Tier 2 Lead Trainer approval.

· A recognised teaching or training qualification, such as AET, PTLLS, CertEd, DTLLS or an equivalent.

· Relevant professional experience supporting autistic people and people with a learning disability.

· Experience delivering Oliver McGowan training and facilitating learning for health and social care audiences.

· Experience working respectfully and effectively alongside experts with lived experience.

· Strong organisation, professional communication and a commitment to maintaining current programme knowledge.

Desirable

Experience preparing facilitating trainers or expert co-trainers, mentoring colleagues, observing delivery or supporting quality assurance would be particularly valuable.

Public liability and professional indemnity insurance of at least £1 million each will be required before freelance delivery.

Straightforward administration

Our custom-built associate trainer portal allows you to view available opportunities, request suitable bookings, access confirmed assignment details and manage invoicing, mileage and agreed expense claims.

It keeps the practical side of freelance work organised, giving you more time for preparation, collaboration and delivery.

Flexible nationwide opportunities

You will receive £300 per full training day, plus agreed expenses.

Dates and locations are agreed around client demand, your availability and preferred geographical coverage. There is no guaranteed minimum number of assignments, and you are welcome to work with other organisations.

All delivery is subject to verification of trainer authorisation and the applicable programme, provider and quality-assurance requirements.
