Job Description

Construction Tutor - Alternative Provision (Wellingborough)
Location: Wellingborough
Start Date: September 2025
Contract: Full-Time | Permanent
Salary: Competitive, based on experience and qualifications

Turn Your Trade Into a Life-Changing Opportunity

Have you spent years on site, mastering your trade? Ready to pass that knowledge on in a way that truly matters? An alternative provision in Wellingborough is seeking a passionate Construction Skills Tutor to work with students aged 11-16 who've struggled in mainstream education.

This is a chance to use your tools, experience, and real-world know-how to help young people rebuild confidence and find purpose.

About the Role:

You'll be leading practical, skills-based sessions in areas such as:

  • Carpentry, bricklaying, plastering, painting & decorating, and site safety

  • Vocational projects that bring learning to life and promote teamwork

  • Lessons tailored to individual needs, abilities, and interests

More than just teaching trades, you'll be helping students develop confidence, discipline, and a sense of direction. Many of them will have Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs-so patience, empathy, and consistency are key.

What We're Looking For:

  • A strong background in construction or multi-trade skills

  • Experience working with young people (mentoring, training, or tutoring preferred)

  • Teaching qualifications are welcome but not essential (PTLLS, AET, QTS/QTLS, etc.)

  • A calm, confident presence and a positive, supportive approach

  • A passion for giving disengaged learners a second shot at success

  • Someone who values practical education and wants to make a real impact

What's in It for You?

  • A full-time role with long-term potential and career development

  • Supportive staff, strong leadership, and a values-led working environment

  • Weekly pay and professional development opportunities

  • Training in behaviour management, safeguarding, and trauma-informed practice

  • The chance to see your work make a direct, visible difference

More Than Just a Job
