Need a break from the tools? Become a tutor!

Are you tired of early starts and physical labour? Are you interested in passing your knowledge to younger generations? Maybe it’s time to consider a role in teaching!

 

Do you have what it takes to become a tutor?

Lecturers and assessors with the right technical skills are essential to train the next generation of trade workers. If you are a good communicator, like working with young people, have great time management, organisational and people skills, and industry experience, you have what it takes to become a tutor! Our team will help you transition into teaching and support you throughout the process.  

 

What would I be doing?

Your primary responsibility will be to teach 16 to 19-year-old students. You will be sharing your practical and theoretical skills, preparing them for a career in construction, assessing the standard of their work and providing feedback.

 

What are the benefits?

There are many benefits of moving into teaching, but here are just few of them that we would like to cover:

  • Paid holidays – lecturers get up to 40 days paid leave per year, plus all bank holidays.
  • Pension scheme – further education providers will pay the employer’s contribution to your pension.
  • Training and progression – provider will train you on the job, invest in you and offer ongoing professional development to support you through your teaching career.

 

Most importantly, you’ll gain satisfaction from sharing your industry knowledge and experience with younger minds, and shaping the next generation of trade workers.
