Job description

Construction Tutor- Wall and Floor Tiling- HMP

Permanent

Location: Brixton

Salary: From £35,000 per annum

Are you an experienced wall and floor tiling professional looking to step off site and use your trade expertise to build brighter futures?

About the Role

We are recruiting a Construction Tutor to join an education provider in the justice sector, delivering practical wall and floor tiling training within a secure education setting. Working with small groups of learners, many of whom have had limited or difficult experiences of education, you'll help them build technical competence, workplace confidence and the qualifications needed to move into employment on release.

This is a hands-on role where your trade knowledge will matter as much as your ability to engage, mentor and encourage learners who are rebuilding their lives.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Planning and delivering engaging, practical tiling sessions tailored to learners' abilities and backgrounds.
• Establishing individual learning plans and offering consistent advice, guidance and constructive feedback.
• Mentoring learners with limited educational backgrounds, helping them develop trade skills, self-esteem and positive workplace behaviours.
• Maintaining strict health and safety standards, workshop discipline and tool inventory control in compliance with security protocols.
• Linking practical training to real-world careers in the tiling trade, preparing learners for employment on release.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

• Level 2 or Level 3 vocational qualification in wall and floor tiling or a related construction discipline
• GCSE or Level 2 Functional Skills in maths and English
• Substantial hands-on industry experience in the tiling trade

Desirable (but not essential):

• A teaching or assessing qualification and prior delivery experience

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.

If you're ready to use your trade expertise to change lives, we'd love to hear from you.
