About the Role
The Construction Department at Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor is a forward-thinking department offering courses across a range of construction disciplines. Teaching and learning take place with access to industry-standard equipment and within modern facilities. Within the department, we have two sites; Hafan (Pwllheli) and CaMDA (Dolgellau), with the Construction provision based at CaMDA (Dolgellau).
We are seeking a permanent full-time member of staff to join the College’s Construction Department; and we are looking to employ an enthusiastic and dedicated individual with experience in the Construction field, specifically in the area of Bricklaying.
The department offers a wide range of provision including full-time and part-time courses, apprenticeships, and the 14–16 curriculum. We currently have a strong team of Construction lecturers in the fields of plastering, bricklaying, carpentry, and plumbing, alongside practical skills supervisory staff in areas including plumbing, plastering, and carpentry, and staff members who work specifically with the apprenticeship provision. We are looking for a member of staff who will complement this and contribute to the ongoing development of the department.
Role of the Practical Skills Supervisor
The role of the practical skills supervisor will involve working under the guidance of the lecturer in providing high-quality bilingual education to learners across a range of qualifications and levels, including Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3, on full-time, part-time, and apprenticeship programmes. The role will include planning and delivering practical sessions in the workshop, carrying out site visits, and assessing work on-site when required, and providing ongoing support to ensure that every learner is given the best opportunity to succeed.
