Are you an experienced bricklaying professional looking to step out of the site and into the classroom?

About the Role

As a Bricklaying Lecturer, you''ll pass on your hands-on construction expertise to the next generation of bricklayers in a dynamic, well-equipped workshop environment. Working with an established education provider, you''ll deliver practical training, coaching and underpinning knowledge that prepares learners for a successful career in the trade.

You''ll run classroom-style sessions, one-to-one tutorials and student reviews, supporting learners to develop both technical skill and professional standards. You''ll also play a key role in maintaining a safe, well-organised workshop, ensuring equipment, tools and materials are properly managed and that students work to strict health and safety requirements throughout.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Delivering practical bricklaying training, coaching and underpinning knowledge to learners.

• Running classroom-style workshops, one-to-one tutorials and student reviews.

• Supporting lecturers by setting up and assisting with vocational learning activities.

• Managing workshop stock levels and maintaining accurate material inventories.

• Ensuring all equipment and building materials are safely cleaned and stored.

• Assessing student competence against pre-determined industry criteria.

• Willingness to act as a First Aider

Desirable (but not essential):

If you don''t yet hold a teaching qualification, that''s not a barrier. Many successful lecturers come from industry, and you''ll be supported with training, mentoring and ongoing development to help you thrive in the classroom.

What We Offer

• Market Rate Allowance of -3,000 to -6,000 in addition to salary
