Construction Teacher

Are you a qualified teacher with a background in Construction and a passion for helping young people who have struggled in mainstream education? An alternative provision in Coventry is looking for a Construction Teacher to deliver engaging, practical lessons to secondary-aged students who face barriers to learning.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who can bring Construction to life through hands‑on learning, helping young people develop practical skills, confidence and a sense of achievement. You will be teaching small groups or working on a 1:1 basis, supporting students to work towards recognised Construction qualifications while developing the behaviours and skills needed for their future.

The successful Construction Teacher will combine strong subject knowledge with effective classroom and behaviour management skills. You will need to be confident delivering practical workshop sessions, maintaining high standards of health and safety and adapting your teaching to meet the needs of students with SEMH, behavioural or additional learning needs. QTS, QTLS or an equivalent teaching qualification is essential, alongside experience planning and delivering Construction lessons.
