At Polaris, we are proud to be one of the UK's leading communities of children's service providers. For over 30 years, we have passionately improved the lives of young people through our independent fostering and adoption agencies, leaving care services, education, and bespoke children's services contracts. Our nurturing community is dedicated to achieving the best outcomes for every child in our care, and we believe in the potential of our children, families, and staff.

Join a warm, ambitious, and values-driven team that truly cares about the work we do!

Are you a creative and passionate individual who loves training and engaging with people? If so, we want you!

You are someone who:

• Loves teaching, presenting, or facilitating and feels at home in both face-to-face settings and webinars.
• Brings energy, humor, and connection into every session.
• Can stay calm and professional even when things get busy.
• Enjoys juggling multiple tasks and prioritizing effectively.
• Thrives in a team environment and values building relationships.
• Has solid IT skills (Microsoft Office, including PowerPoint, and LMS systems) and a flair for producing high-quality learning content.
• Is open to running the occasional early evening/twilight session when needed.

While training/teaching qualifications or VLE experience are a plus, your passion and skills are what truly matter to us!
