Brickwork Lecturer in Tamworth

South Staffordshire College is seeking a knowledgeable and experienced Brickwork Lecturer to join our Construction team based at our Torc Campus. This is an exciting opportunity to share your industry experience and help learners develop the practical skills, knowledge and behaviours required for a successful career in the construction industry.

Whether you're already teaching or considering a move into education from industry, you'll play an important role in delivering high-quality teaching, learning and assessment across a range of Brickwork programmes. You'll support learners to achieve their full potential, monitor progress, provide effective feedback and contribute to the continued development of our curriculum.

We're looking for someone with recent industry experience and strong technical knowledge of Brickwork and Trowel Occupations. You'll hold a relevant vocational qualification and be committed to supporting learners to develop the skills required for employment, apprenticeships and further study. You will work closely with colleagues, employers and industry partners to ensure learners receive a high-quality learning experience that reflects current industry practice. Previous teaching experience is welcome but not essential. If you do not already hold a teaching qualification, the College will support you in achieving one. Applicants must also hold English and Maths qualifications at Level 2 (GCSE Grade 4/C or above, or equivalent).

What you can expect from us – we care about your wellbeing so have several activities all year that provide support. However, time off is also important. We have a generous holiday scheme, the usual Bank Holidays, an additional 5 days at Christmas and 2 ‘ME’ days (where you can have a day off work and do whatever makes you happy) as well as an additional day on campus spent on wellbeing. We have a range of benefits available to all staff including paid time off for emergencies (designed to support carers) and all our policies are enhanced further than statutory requirements. The College also contributes to your pension at a minimum of 17.9% (we contribute more for people in the Local Government Pension Scheme).

Essential requirements:

• Teaching qualification (e.g. PGCE, Cert Ed, DTLLS or equivalent), or a commitment to work towards in line with contractual requirements.
• Relevant Brickwork or Trowel Occupations qualification at Level 3 or above.
• Level 2 English and Maths qualifications (GCSE Grade 4/C or above, or equivalent).
• Current vocational knowledge and practical experience within the Brickwork and Construction industry.
• Passionate about developing learners and helping them achieve their potential.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

• Commitment to continuous professional and industry development.
• Ability to travel between College sites as required.
