Are you an experienced Plumbing professional looking to step away from full-time site work?

Do you want to move into a rewarding education environment where you can support learners, maintain high-quality workshop facilities, and potentially develop your career further within teaching or technical support?

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a well-established College, supporting the Plumbing section with practical workshop preparation, equipment maintenance, health and safety, and learner support. This role would suit someone with strong hands-on Plumbing experience who enjoys working in a practical environment and wants a stable, long-term role within education.

The ideal candidate will have practical Plumbing industry experience and a strong understanding of tools, equipment, workshop environments, and safe working practices. This is not a lecturer or assessor role, so teaching experience is not essential.

• Support health and safety standards across the workshop.
• Assist lecturers and learners during practical workshop sessions.
• Help ensure workshops are clean, safe, organised, and ready for teaching.
• Work with learners aged 16-19 in a practical education environment.
• 36 hours per week, 52 weeks per year.
• Based at the Uxbridge campus.
• Long-term opportunity with potential future progression into teaching if suitable roles arise.

The person:

• Practical Plumbing experience essential.
• Relevant Plumbing qualifications desirable, but Level 3 is not essential.
• Level 2 qualified candidates with strong industry experience will be considered.
• Experience working with tools, equipment, materials, and workshop environments.
• Good health and safety awareness.
• Comfortable supporting learners aged 16-19.
• Strong communication skills.
• Able to work independently and as part of a team.
• Willing to learn, develop, and build a long-term career within education.
• Based within a commutable distance of Uxbridge.

We are an equal opportunities company and welcome applications from all suitable candidates.
