About the Role

We are seeking an inspiring Brickworks Tutor to join an employer in the justice sector, delivering meaningful vocational learning within a prison education setting. This is a unique opportunity to support learners on their rehabilitation journey, helping them build the practical skills, confidence and qualifications needed to progress into employment and shape brighter futures.

You’ll deliver engaging and inclusive brickwork lessons to learners with a wide range of educational backgrounds, learning needs and abilities. Many of your learners will have had difficult experiences of education, so patience, empathy and a genuine belief in each individual's potential will matter as much as your technical knowledge.

Key Responsibilities

  • Delivering brickwork qualifications to groups of learners.
  • Conducting initial assessments and diagnostics to identify learners' starting points and needs.
  • Planning and adapting lessons to meet a diverse range of abilities and learning needs.
  • Maintaining a safe, well‑organised practical workshop environment.
  • Monitoring and recording learner progress against qualification requirements.

What We’re Looking For

  • A recognised trade background in bricklaying or brickwork
  • Level 3 NVQ
  • Strong practical, hands‑on industry experience
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to engage learners with varying needs
  • A genuine commitment to supporting learners' rehabilitation and progression

Desirable (but not essential)

  • A teaching or assessing qualification
  • Previous experience delivering training or instruction

No teaching qualification? No problem. Full support and funding will be provided to help you achieve the required teaching qualification.

What’s on Offer

  • Full support and funding for teaching qualification
  • A real person, not an automated email. If we are not the right fit for you we will say so quickly rather than leave you waiting.
  • Recognised trade background in bricklaying
  • Strong practical industry experience
  • Enhanced DBS check
  • HMPPS security vetting
  • Full support and funding for teaching qualification
