Our current Construction provision consists of full time courses and apprenticeships from entry level to advanced in the majority of trade areas including: Painting and Decorating, Maintenance Operations, Bricklaying, Plastering, Architectural Joinery & Site Carpentry.

The successful candidates will potentially be teaching and assessing on Carpentry and Joinery courses, both full time and apprenticeships including level 1 Carpentry and Joinery, Bench Joinery, Site Carpentry and on elements of Maintenance Operations related to Carpentry and Joinery. We are looking to expand our provision in Construction therefore an interest in promoting new courses and expanding existing provision would be advantageous.

We are seeking to appoint experienced, qualified tradespeople who are lively and enthusiastic, who can contribute significantly to the programme area. Previous experience of teaching and assessing on the above courses would be an advantage. Applicants should have at least five years relevant industry experience and a trade related level 3 qualification.

The individuals appointed will also act as tutors to groups of students and will share responsibility for course development, management and review in the area.
