Are you a hands‑on construction professional looking to step into education as a Construction Skills Instructor, delivering practical, engaging learning experiences to students aged 12–16 within an alternative provision setting where you can showcase your skills and continue your development? This supportive and forward‑thinking environment is committed to re‑engaging learners who require additional support to reach their potential. The organisation places a strong emphasis on practical, skills‑based learning, positive relationships, and preparing young people for successful progression into further education, apprenticeships, or employment.
