Impact Academy Skills Facilitator

Department:
Impact Academy

Location:

Aligned to one of FI Group’s regional centres

First Intuition is the UK’s leading provider of accountancy training, supporting over 10,000 students annually across our network of training centres. We deliver ACCA, CIMA, ACA and AAT qualifications alongside our Impact Skills Programme (ISP) for apprentices. As we launch Impact Academy, we’re expanding our expertise in human skills development for early career professionals, building on our proven track record with 1,600+ corporate clients.

Impact Academy represents First Intuition’s strategic expansion into professional skills development beyond technical accountancy training. We’re building a market‑leading proposition that delivers diagnostic‑driven, personalised skills development to both FI apprentices and external employer clients. Our ambition is to grow from £3M to £12M+ by 2030, with external client revenue as a key growth driver.

We deliver a structured curriculum across six professional skills domains, using a blended model that combines facilitated sessions, coached workplace application, and self‑directed learning. Our programmes serve learners from Level 3 through to Level 7, with each pathway personalised through behavioural diagnostics that identify individual development priorities and track measurable progress over time.

The Impact Academy Skills Facilitator is a specialist delivery role at the heart of our professional skills proposition. You will facilitate high‑impact learning experiences that develop real‑world professional capability, using diagnostic data to personalise every session and demonstrating measurable progress to learners and their employers.

You will deliver across the full range of Impact Academy programmes – from Level 3 apprentices through to Level 7 senior professionals – adapting your facilitation approach to match the complexity, commercial context, and development needs at each level. Your audience will include FI apprentices, external employer clients, and commercial programme participants, requiring the confidence and credibility to deliver in corporate environments as well as training centres.

This is not a traditional teaching role. You are a facilitator of learning – guiding discussion, running immersive simulations and experiential activities, interpreting diagnostic outputs in real time, and connecting professional skills to each learner’s workplace reality. You will be expected to demonstrate commercial awareness, contribute to client retention through delivery excellence, and play an active role in developing Impact Academy’s content and methodology.

As a key member of the delivery team, you will help establish the facilitation standards that differentiate Impact Academy in the market. As the team and client base grow, there will be opportunities to specialise in programme areas, mentor new facilitators, lead on curriculum development, and take on client‑facing responsibilities.
