Construction Instructor – Alternative Provision, Coventry
Term time Only

Are you an experienced Construction professional who enjoys passing on your skills and helping young people develop practical abilities? An alternative provision in Coventry is looking for a confident and enthusiastic Construction Instructor to deliver hands-on learning to secondary-aged students who have struggled in mainstream education.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a background in the Construction industry who wants to make a difference beyond the workplace. You will be teaching small groups or working on a 1:1 basis, helping young people develop practical trade skills, work towards recognised Construction qualifications and build confidence in their abilities.

You do not need to be a qualified teacher for this role, but you must have relevant Construction experience and the confidence to deliver practical learning. Experience working with young people with SEMH needs, challenging behaviour or additional learning needs would be highly beneficial. The successful Construction Instructor will be confident working with tools, equipment and materials, able to maintain a safe workshop environment and comfortable managing students who may struggle with engagement, behaviour or traditional classroom learning.

Job Role:

• Deliver practical Construction sessions to secondary-aged students.
• Teach students essential Construction skills through hands-on activities.
• Support learners to work towards recognised Construction qualifications.
• Demonstrate the safe use of tools, equipment, materials and PPE.
• Maintain a safe, organised and purposeful workshop environment.
• Support students with SEMH, behavioural and additional learning needs.
• Establish clear expectations and maintain effective behaviour management.
• Adapt practical activities to suit different abilities and levels of engagement.
• Monitor student progress and encourage the development of practical skills.
• Work alongside Coaches, Mentors and Teaching Assistants to support learning and behaviour.
• Help students develop confidence, resilience and positive attitudes towards education and employment.

In return you will:

• Have the opportunity to pass on your Construction expertise to the next generation.
• Make a genuine difference to young people who need a different approach to education.
• Deliver practical learning that develops valuable skills and recognised qualifications.
• Work within a supportive team focused on helping students achieve.
• Develop your experience within vocational education and alternative provision.
• Receive ongoing support from an experienced education recruitment consultant.
