Share your trade. Build confidence. Help change lives.

• Work with colleagues to improve training and support each learner’s development.

Please see the attached job description for the full responsibilities and role requirements.

What you’ll bring

• Experience as a qualified bricklayer, with strong practical skills and industry knowledge.
• The ability to explain techniques clearly and build positive working relationships.
• Patience, enthusiasm and the confidence to motivate and engage learners.
• A flexible, proactive approach to supporting people with different needs.
• A commitment to education, rehabilitation and helping people achieve positive outcomes.
• A teaching or assessor qualification and/or experience in a prison environment would be advantageous.

What we offer

• £32,987.47-£38,801.01 per annum, depending on qualifications and experience.
• 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday.
• Free on-site parking.
• Free meals, where applicable.
• Access to an on-site gym and subsidised gym membership.
• BUPA healthcare scheme and life assurance.
• Sodexo retirement plan.
