IT Tutor

Are you passionate about IT and eager to inspire the next generation of IT professionals? Happy Jobs NI is delighted to present two exciting opportunities for a Vocational IT Tutor and an IT Essential Skills Tutor to join a leading organisation that has been delivering high-quality vocational training in Northern Ireland for over 30 years.

About the Roles:

Vocational IT Tutor

You will work with a diverse range of learners, supporting them through their studies and ensuring they achieve their full potential.
