The Alcohol & Drug Service (ADS) are a registered charity who have been transforming the lives of people affected by drugs and alcohol misuse for over 40 years.

At Generis, we believe that great learning comes from great training experiences – and that active engagement is key. As a specialist training and development department within ADS, we deliver accredited and bespoke training packages to both internal and external candidates. Our approach is built on guiding learners through a meaningful journey – where knowledge is not just shared, but developed through independent thinking, dynamic resources, and impactful activities.

The Opportunity
It’s an incredibly exciting time to be working in the training branch of the drug and alcohol field, with significant new career pathways and opportunities emerging across the sector for our learners. Generis is now looking for a motivated and passionate Trainer/Assessor to join our small, but growing team on a part-time hybrid basis.

This is a unique opportunity for someone with a passion for delivering great training – whether or not you have direct experience in substance misuse. If you have a background in training, education, or health and social care, and the desire to learn and upskill, we’d love to support your development. You’ll be helping to train and inspire others to develop their skills and knowledge in a rewarding and impactful field.

The role involves delivering a mix of face-to-face and online sessions. You will be expected to travel to venues across Yorkshire, and the East Riding region; travel expenses will be reimbursed.

You might be exactly who we're looking for if you have:
• A Level 3 Award in Education & Training (formerly PTLLS) or equivalent
• A desire to develop your skills as an assessor (training and support provided)
• A passion for supporting learners to develop their own ideas, opinions, and professional identities.

An added bonus would be:
Experience in substance misuse or a relevant health and social care setting – though this is not essential, as full training and support will be provided.
Whether you’re an experienced assessor or a practitioner ready for a fresh challenge, we’ll support your development through a comprehensive induction designed to grow your skills and confidence in your training delivery of Generis packages.

What We Offer:
• A chance to be part of a vision-led, learner-focused training department.
• The opportunity to influence and shape the future of the substance misuse workforce.
• Access to ongoing professional development and support
• A supportive team environment within a respected organisation
If you’re ready to take the next step in your career and inspire the next generation of professionals in the drug and alcohol field, we’d love to hear from you.
