Job description

Eastern Education Group is seeking a committed and knowledgeable Lecturer in Brickwork to support our dedicated teaching team. In this role, you will deliver engaging and industry-relevant teaching in areas such as groundwork, reinstatement, and construction practices. Your expertise will help equip students and apprentices with the essential knowledge and hands‑on skills required for success in the civil engineering and construction sectors. Your main duties will include:

• Teach and assess across all Brickwork programmes, including Apprenticeships, FE courses, T Levels, and related provision.
• Plan, deliver, and evaluate high-quality learning that meets College, awarding body, and employer standards.
• Develop and maintain schemes of work, lesson plans, learning resources, and assessment materials. Eastern Education Group is a dynamic and forward-thinking education provider committed to delivering high-quality learning experiences across multiple institutions. Our group encompasses a diverse range of educational settings, including schools, further education colleges, and specialist learning provisions, ensuring that learners of all ages and backgrounds receive the support and opportunities they need to succeed.

At the heart of our mission is a dedication to excellence, inclusivity, and innovation in education. We strive to create an environment where students can thrive academically, socially, and professionally. Through strong partnerships with local communities, businesses, and industry leaders, we ensure our curriculum remains relevant, equipping students with the skills and knowledge required for future careers. At Eastern Education Group, we believe sustainability is everyone's responsibility. We are committed to developing the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed for a more sustainable future while reducing our environmental impact and supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy. Our group also prioritises supporting students with additional learning needs, offering specialist provisions for those with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities), SEMH (Social, Emotional, and Mental Health needs), and vocational training to empower every learner. We take a holistic approach to education, combining academic excellence with pastoral care, safeguarding, and wellbeing initiatives to foster a safe and supportive learning environment. As a collective, Eastern Education Group is committed to continuous improvement, innovation, and maintaining high standards across all our institutions. We work closely with regulatory bodies, including Ofsted, to ensure compliance and the highest quality of teaching, learning, and student support. Our leadership team, educators, and support staff are dedicated to shaping the future of education, driving positive change, and enabling learners to realise their full potential. As a Group, our Character Strengths and Mission Statement underpin our expectations of all our students and employees. Please familiarise yourself with these and incorporate them into your personal statement; this will be of benefit if you are invited to attend for an interview.

This is an opportunity to join a hugely supportive organisation where we value, support and facilitate your professional development, as well as offering many other benefits including an attractive pension scheme, staff wellbeing initiatives and employee assistance.

We are particularly interested in candidates with practical experience in brickwork, groundwork and reinstatement within construction settings. Holding relevant industry qualifications and assessment qualifications (e.g. TAQA or equivalent) would be highly beneficial.

The ideal candidate will possess excellent organisational and communication skills and demonstrate a strong commitment to supporting learners' academic progress and professional development. If you are passionate about training the next generation of construction professionals, we would be delighted to hear from you.
