With campuses in East Ham, Stratford, Plaistow, and the London City Institute of Technology (LCIoT) in Canning Town, we serve over 11,000 students across a range of pathways – including 16–18 study, adult education, apprenticeships, and higher education.
With over 800 staff, four main campuses, and an annual turnover of £60 million, Newham College is one of the borough’s largest employers and plays a key role in driving local economic and community development.
The Role:
We are looking for a passionate and skilled Plumbing professional to join our dynamic Plumbing team and play a key role in developing the next generation of Plumbers.
Are you an experienced Plumber ready to take the next step in your career? Perhaps you already teach and are looking for a new challenge? Whether you are new to education or an experienced lecturer, this is an opportunity to turn your industry expertise into a rewarding career where you can make a real difference.
You will deliver high-quality teaching, learning and assessment across City & Guilds Plumbing programmes from Level 1 to Level 2, supporting both 16–18 learners and adult learners on full-time courses. You will use your practical knowledge and industry experience to bring Plumbing to life through a combination of classroom-based learning and hands-on practical training, preparing learners with the skills, knowledge and confidence they need to succeed in the industry.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Plumber looking to move from industry into education. You will join a supportive and forward-thinking team where your industry expertise is valued, with opportunities to develop your teaching practice and contribute to the continued development of our Plumbing provision. You will also play an important role in ensuring our learners are equipped with the practical skills and knowledge needed to succeed in a changing construction sector.
If you are passionate about Plumbing and want to use your skills and experience to help others build a successful career, we would love to hear from you.
