Overview

Construction Teacher - Alternative Provision (Wellingborough)
Location: Wellingborough
Start Date: September 2025
Contract Type: Full-Time Permanent
Salary: Competitive, based on experience and qualifications

Do you have a background in construction and a passion for teaching practical skills to young people who've struggled in mainstream education?

We're supporting an alternative provision in Wellingborough that provides vital education and support to permanently excluded students and those at risk of exclusion. The school is looking for a Construction Teacher to deliver hands-on learning and vocational training to students aged 11-16 in a calm, structured, and therapeutic environment.

This is a unique opportunity to use your real-world skills to empower young people and help them build a more positive future.

What You\'ll Be Doing

• Planning and delivering practical construction lessons (e.g., basic carpentry, bricklaying, painting & decorating, health & safety)
• Engaging learners through vocational, skills-based education that builds confidence and employability
• Creating a safe, well-organised workshop space that promotes learning through doing
• Supporting students with SEMH (Social, Emotional & Mental Health) needs and adapting tasks to suit individual abilities
• Encouraging teamwork, problem-solving, and resilience through practical work
• Working closely with pastoral and behaviour staff to support student engagement and personal development
• Contributing to a nurturing school culture focused on second chances and future pathways

We\'re Looking For Someone Who

• Has experience in construction (e.g., carpentry, brickwork, multi-trades) and ideally a teaching or training qualification (e.g., DTLLS, PTLLS, QTS/QTLS - but not essential)
• Is confident delivering practical, hands-on sessions to students who may be disengaged or challenging
• Is passionate about vocational learning and helping young people develop skills for life and work
• Can remain calm, patient, and positive in a behaviourally complex setting
• Has good communication skills and a sense of humour
• Wants to be part of a small, supportive, and mission-driven team

What You\'ll Gain in Return

• A long-term role with the potential to become permanent
• A meaningful opportunity to shape young lives through practical education
• Weekly pay and support with further training or qualifications
• Access to CPD including safeguarding, de-escalation, and trauma-informed teaching
• A rewarding environment where no two days are the same-and your work truly matters
• The chance to help students discover pride, purpose, and potential through skilled trades
