Join a world-leading digital educator shaping the next generation of Machine Learning Engineers.
We’re looking for an experienced Senior AI & Machine Learning Instructor to support delivery across the Machine Learning Engineer (Level 6) Apprenticeship and wider commercial programmes.
If you’re a passionate technologist who loves bringing complex ML concepts to life — from maths foundations to real-world deployment — this is your chance to make a real impact.
What you’ll do
You’ll play a key role in helping learners and professionals build deep, practical ML capability. Day-to-day, you’ll:
✅ Deliver engaging teaching sessions covering the full ML lifecycle — data prep, model training, evaluation, deployment and monitoring at scale.
✅ Explain the maths behind ML models (linear algebra, calculus, probability, stats) in an accessible, engaging way.
✅ Support learners throughout their apprenticeship journey alongside Learner Success Coaches.
✅ Contribute to content and product development — creating learning materials, labs and workshops.
✅ Work closely with the Product and AI teams to grow the AI learning portfolio across apprenticeships, upskilling and reskilling.
✅ Ensure all delivery meets the standards expected by Ofsted, ESFA and other awarding bodies.
What we’re looking for
You’ll need to bring:
Strong industry experience in end-to-end ML projects — from data wrangling and model building to deployment and monitoring.
Confident teaching ability — whether you’ve formally taught, mentored or coached technical teams.
Mathematical depth — clear understanding of the theory behind ML algorithms.
Practical knowledge of tools like FastAPI, MLflow, Docker, and cloud environments (AWS/Azure/GCP).
Excellent communication — able to simplify complex technical ideas for learners of mixed ability.
Bonus points for:
-
Experience with NLP/LLMs, Computer Vision or Generative AI
-
Formal teaching qualification or EPA assessor experience
-
Hands-on exposure to responsible AI or prompt engineering
Why join?
You’ll be part of a mission-driven organisation known for making cutting-edge technology understandable and exciting.
Learning culture: Dedicated learning calendar and quarterly reviews to help you grow.
️ 33 days annual leave (plus office closure over Christmas).
Flexible, remote-first setup with access to modern WeWork offices in London.
Private healthcare, dental and vision cover.
✈️ Travel insurance, pension contributions and wellbeing support.
Monthly team lunches and regular social events.
Laptop & full virtual setup provided.
