Use your trade to transform young lives.

Are you a skilled construction professional looking to make a real difference? Do you believe in giving second chances and teaching through doing? We're working with an alternative provision in Wellingborough that supports students aged 11-16 who have been excluded or are at risk of exclusion. They're looking for a Construction Tutor who can deliver practical, engaging lessons that build confidence, character, and career-ready skills.

This is your chance to move from the site to the classroom-where your knowledge can become a powerful tool for change.

Your Role Will Include:

• Planning and leading hands-on sessions in areas like basic carpentry, brickwork, painting & decorating, and site safety
• Delivering tailored lessons that focus on vocational skills and practical learning outcomes
• Creating a calm, structured, and engaging workshop environment
• Supporting students with SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) needs through patient, positive teaching
• Encouraging teamwork, problem-solving, and a strong work ethic
• Working closely with a supportive pastoral team to promote engagement, behaviour, and well-being
• Playing a key role in helping students re-engage with education and prepare for post-16 pathways

What We're Looking For:

• A background in construction or multi-trade (carpentry, plastering, bricklaying, etc.)
• Some experience delivering training or mentoring (a teaching qualification is a bonus but not essential - PTLLS, AET, DTLLS, QTS/QTLS all welcome)
• Confidence working with young people who may be disengaged or have behavioural challenges
• A calm, resilient, and supportive approach to working in a non-mainstream setting
• Strong communication skills, a sense of humour, and a genuine passion for vocational education
• A desire to be part of a close-knit, values-driven team committed to making a difference

What You'll Get:

• A full-time, long-term opportunity with potential for permanent placement
• The chance to make a lasting impact through hands-on, real-world teaching
• Ongoing CPD including behaviour management, safeguarding, and trauma-informed practice
• Weekly pay and dedicated support throughout your placement
• A rewarding, dynamic role where every day brings new challenges and victories
• A place in a school that values patience, purpose, and progress
