The Larder delivers a range of training, employability and youth justice programmes in West Lothian and other local authority areas, supporting young people and adults with complex barriers to take their next steps into training, learning, or work. Delivery takes place in our bespoke Training Academies in Livingston, in schools, and in community settings, across a range of local authorities.

Our approach is strengths-based and human rights-informed, recognising that everyone’s circumstances are different and adapting our courses to meet individual needs. We support learners to identify their strengths, build confidence, overcome barriers, and move into positive destinations, when the time is right for them. We value the dignity, rights, and agency of each learner, including those with additional support needs and neurodiverse learners, and we work to ensure that all learners can fully participate and have their voices heard.

The Trainer/Assessor role is central to this mission. You will design and deliver high quality, inclusive learning experiences, support learners to develop skills and confidence, and guide them toward qualifications and sustainable outcomes. You will adopt a solution-focused approach, empowering learners to make informed choices and achieve their potential.
