Job description

Construction Tutor - Alternative Provision

Location: Towcester, Northamptonshire

Salary: £30,000 per annum

Contract: Temporary to Permanent

Start: New Year 2027

Recruiter: Tradewind Recruitment

Turn practical skills into a career that changes lives.

Are you an experienced construction professional who enjoys sharing your knowledge and helping others develop new skills? Perhaps you have worked in the construction industry for years and are now looking for a new direction where you can use your practical experience to make a difference.

Tradewind Recruitment is working with an exciting new Alternative Provision setting opening in Towcester in the New Year. They are looking to appoint a Construction Tutor to deliver practical learning opportunities to young people who may struggle to engage with traditional classroom-based education.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a construction background to bring their industry knowledge into an educational environment and help young people develop practical skills, confidence and potential pathways into employment.

About the provision

The setting will support young people with a range of additional needs and barriers to education, including social, emotional and mental health needs (SEMH), behavioural challenges, disengagement and previous difficulties within mainstream schools. For some pupils, practical and vocational learning can provide a valuable alternative route to developing confidence, motivation and transferable skills.

The role

As Construction Tutor, you will help deliver engaging, practical construction-based sessions, encouraging pupils to develop their abilities through hands‑on activities and structured learning.

• Delivering practical construction lessons and demonstrations.


• Sharing industry knowledge and introducing pupils to different construction skills.


• Supporting pupils to develop safe working practices and an understanding of tools, materials and techniques.


• Breaking down tasks into manageable steps to suit different abilities.


• Encouraging teamwork, communication and problem‑solving.


• Maintaining a safe, structured and positive learning environment.


• Building relationships with pupils who may have previously struggled within education.


• Supporting young people to recognise their strengths and explore potential vocational pathways.

Who are we looking for?

We would love to hear from candidates with experience in construction, trades, building, maintenance or other practical industries who are interested in moving into education. Previous teaching or tutoring experience would be beneficial but is not necessarily the main attraction. The ability to demonstrate practical skills, communicate effectively and build positive relationships with young people is equally important. You will need to be patient, resilient, approachable and confident setting boundaries.

What's on offer?

• £30,000 per annum.


• An opportunity to bring your industry experience into education.


• The chance to help establish a new vocational learning provision.


• A rewarding role supporting young people to develop practical skills and confidence.


• Temporary‑to‑permanent employment through Tradewind Recruitment.
