Are you an experienced bricklayer looking to coach and support the next generation of apprentices?

About the Role

You'll coach and assess bricklaying apprentices, combining workplace visits with portfolio development and structured progress reviews. You'll support learners to build the technical skills, industry knowledge and professional standards they need to achieve their apprenticeship and progress in their trade.

This role would suit someone with a strong vocational background in bricklaying who is ready to move into coaching, as well as those already assessing or tutoring. If you haven't taught before, you'll be supported with fully funded teacher training, mentoring and ongoing professional development.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Assessing bricklaying apprentices in workplace settings and conducting regular progress reviews.
• Leading portfolio development and coaching aligned with the bricklaying apprenticeship standard.
• Maintaining accurate assessment documentation and tracking records.
• Building and maintaining effective relationships with employers to support learner progress.
• Instilling industry standards and professional practice in apprentices.

What We're Looking For

• Strong vocational background in bricklaying, with solid industry experience
• Level 2 Maths and English (or equivalent)
• A full UK driving licence, with the ability to travel to workplace settings

Desirable (but not essential):

• Assessor qualification (CAVA, A1, D32/D33), or a willingness to work towards one
• Teaching qualification (AET, CertEd, PGCE)
• Prior experience working within a further education provider or independent training provider

If you're ready to pass on your trade skills and coach the next generation of bricklayers, we'd love to hear from you.

A real person, not an automated email. If we are not the right fit for you we will say so quickly rather than leave you waiting.
