Can you lay the foundations for success, one brick at a time?
If you know your headers from your stretchers and believe that good teaching is as solid as a well-built wall, we’ve got a role that’s right up your alley.
We’re looking for a Lecturer (Bricklaying) who’s ready to pass on their craft, inspire the next generation of tradespeople, and build something that lasts—both in the workshop and in the classroom.
You will:
- Deliver top-tier teaching in bricklaying, from theory to hands-on practice.
- Support learners on study programmes and apprenticeships, helping them master the trade and meet qualification standards.
- Create lesson plans, schemes of work, and assessment materials that are as well-structured as a cavity wall.
- Act as a personal tutor, offering guidance, motivation, and a bit of character-building along the way.
- Track progress, giving feedback, and helping students hit their targets (and exceed them).
- Develop the curriculum to reflect modern industry standards and prepare students for real-world success.
- Keep accurate records, managing course files, and ensuring everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.
You will need:
- A vocational qualification in bricklaying or solid industry experience.
- A teaching qualification (or a willingness to gain one in employment).
- A passion for passing on your skills and shaping future professionals.
- Excellent communication, motivation, and presentation skills.
- A calm, confident approach—even when the pressure’s on.
- A team spirit and a genuine interest in education and personal development.
You will be part of a college that values craftsmanship, character and community. Whether you're guiding apprentices or leading a class, you'll be helping students build more than just walls, you'll be building their future.
Benefits: 11 weeks holiday including bank holidays, 28.68% College pension contribution to TPS, health care cash plan, free car parking, discounted Hair & Beauty, on-site gym, staff development & training, Pluxee Retail Discount Scheme, and more!
