The Opportunity

Are you an experienced construction professional or trade specialist looking to step off the site and use your hands-on expertise to build brighter futures? Do you want to play a key role in reducing reoffending by inspiring adult learners—many with little or no prior formal education—to gain practical trade skills, workplace confidence, and industry qualifications?

We are recruiting for a passionate Vocational Construction Tutor to join the education team on-site at HMP Onley. Working with small groups of prison-based learners, you will deliver high-quality, practical construction training, helping them build technical competence, positive workplace habits, and job-readiness for post-release employment in the building sector.

What You Will Be Doing

Practical Vocational Instruction: Plan and deliver engaging, high-quality construction sessions, adapting lesson plans to meet diverse learner needs and abilities.

Confidence & Skill Building: Inspire and mentor learners with limited educational backgrounds, helping them develop practical trade skills, self-esteem, and positive workplace behaviours.

Individual Training Plans: Establish tailored learning goals for every student, offering consistent advice, guidance, and constructive feedback throughout their training.

Safety & Tool Control: Maintain strict health & safety standards, workshop discipline, and tool inventory control in compliance with prison security protocols.

Rehabilitation Focus: Link practical training directly to real-world construction careers, preparing learners for successful entry into the trade upon release.

What We Are Looking For

Trade Qualifications: Essential Level 2 or Level 3 vocational qualification in a relevant construction discipline (e.g., Bricklaying, Multi-Skills, Carpentry, or General Building).

Core Skills: GCSE or Level 2 Functional Skills in both Maths and English.

Vocational Expertise: Substantial hands-on industry experience as an expert within the construction sector.

Teaching Qualifications: A teaching or assessing qualification and prior delivery experience are desirable. No teaching qualification? No problem! Candidates with strong industry experience who are willing to work towards a teaching qualification on the job are fully encouraged to apply.

Key Attributes: Excellent communication, strong group engagement skills, resilience, and a true passion for mentoring learners from diverse backgrounds.

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.
