Job Purpose: You will lead the delivery of a high-quality, bilingual curriculum in Construction that spans all pathways—including full-time provision, apprenticeships, Higher Education, and the 14-19 curriculum. Based within our state-of-the-art facilities, you will oversee the operational and curriculum management across specialised sectors such as Electrical, Plumbing, Carpentry, Brickwork, and Plastering.

In this pivotal role, you will inspire and guide a committed team of Lecturers, Assessors, and Technicians to deliver engaging, inclusive, and bilingual teaching that supports every learner to reach their full potential. Rooted firmly in our values of equality, honesty, trust, fairness, and ambition, you will nurture a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement, ensuring your team feels supported, challenged, and motivated to maintain the highest standards in education and vocational training.
