About the Role
You will plan and deliver engaging, high-quality teaching and assessment in both workshop and classroom settings, drawing on your industry background to help learners build the practical skills and confidence they need. Working as part of a supportive team, you'll help students meet targets for attendance, progress and achievement, giving clear feedback and supporting their development in English and maths alongside their trade skills.

Alongside your teaching, you'll support institutional events and marketing activities, guide learners towards further study and career options, and work closely with colleagues to maintain high standards of health and safety throughout.
