Keep the workshops ready. Support practical learning. Help students build trade skills with confidence.
Good construction training starts with a workshop that is safe, organised and ready for students to learn by doing.
As our Painting and Decorating Technician, you’ll support practical learning across Painting and Decorating, Multi-Skills and our wider Construction provision.
You’ll prepare materials, tools and equipment, maintain workshop areas and help create a safe, professional environment where students can practise and develop real trade skills.
You don’t need to be a lecturer. You do need practical experience in painting and decorating, multi-skills or a related construction trade, together with a strong understanding of workshop safety and organisation.
