Start Date: October 2026

Contract: Temp-to-Perm

Are you an experienced Construction Tutor, Construction Teacher or industry professional looking for a rewarding opportunity where you can use your practical skills to engage and inspire young people?

A new Alternative Provision setting in Towcester is opening in October 2026, and they are looking for an experienced Construction Tutor to join their growing team.

The organisation already operates two established sites and is now expanding into Towcester.

This is an exciting opportunity to join the provision at the beginning of its development and play an important role in establishing a practical, engaging construction curriculum for students.

The Role

As a Construction Tutor, you will deliver practical and engaging construction-based sessions to young people who may have struggled within mainstream education.

You will help students develop practical skills, industry knowledge and confidence, supporting them to work towards relevant qualifications and prepare for future education, training or employment.

The successful candidate will ideally have experience teaching or delivering Construction, Building, Carpentry, Brickwork, Plumbing, Electrical or another relevant trade subject.

You will need to be confident delivering practical sessions while adapting your approach to different abilities and learning needs.

Experience working with students with SEN, SEMH, challenging behaviour or significant gaps in education would be highly desirable.

What We're Looking For

• Experience delivering Construction, Building or a relevant trade-based subject.
• Relevant industry experience and/or a recognised teaching or training qualification.
• Experience working with young people with SEN, SEMH, behavioural needs or barriers to learning.
• A practical, patient and adaptable approach to teaching.
• The ability to build positive relationships and engage students who may have had negative experiences of education.
• A strong commitment to maintaining a safe and supportive practical learning environment.

Excellent Development Opportunities

The setting is committed to developing and investing in its staff, with opportunities for training, professional development and career progression.

As the organisation continues to expand its provision, staff will have the opportunity to grow with the organisation and potentially take on further responsibilities as the new setting develops.

Important Information

Applicants must have the right to work and remain in the UK.

Unfortunately, this setting is unable to offer sponsorship.

The position is offered on a temp-to-perm basis, giving successful candidates the opportunity to secure a permanent role following a successful temporary period.

If you're an experienced Construction professional, Tutor or Teacher who wants to use your practical skills to make a genuine difference to young people and help them develop valuable skills for their future, we'd love to hear from you.
