Ready for a new challenge? Want to inspire the next generation of skilled tradespeople?

We’re looking for enthusiastic and experienced individuals from construction and trade backgrounds to join our team. If you come from the construction or wider trades industry and enjoy developing others, this could be your perfect next step — even if you’ve never worked in education before.

In this role, you’ll use your hands-on expertise to support teaching teams, guide learners, and help shape the workforce of tomorrow.

What You’ll Be Doing

Supporting classroom and workshop delivery alongside teaching staff
Demonstrating practical techniques and industry-standard processes
Helping students build confidence and competence in their trade
Assisting with resources, workshop setup and maintaining a safe working environment
Offering real-world insights that bring learning to life

We welcome candidates from a variety of trade backgrounds, including construction, carpentry, bricklaying, plastering, plumbing, electrical, groundworks, etc.

This is an ideal opportunity if you’ve ever mentored apprentices or worked with trainees, supported colleagues with practical skills and safety guidance or trained new starters on site. Your industry knowledge is valuable and we’ll support you to transition smoothly into education.

If you’re passionate about your trade and want to share your knowledge, we’d love to hear from you. Please complete the Microsoft Form and we will be in touch with you.
