Are you an experienced Groundworker or Civil Construction professional looking to step off site and into education?

Do you want to move into a rewarding role where you can help build a new Groundworks Academy, train site-ready learners, and shape the next generation of construction professionals?

Join a forward-thinking College with ambitious plans to grow its Groundworks and Construction provision. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in developing a new academy, supporting apprenticeship delivery, and helping learners gain the practical skills needed to succeed on site.

As a Groundworks Lecturer, you'll primarily support Groundworks apprenticeships while also delivering intensive Groundworks bootcamps. You'll work with mainly 19+ learners, delivering practical and theory-based training across core groundworks skills including setting out, ground preparation, drainage, kerbing, slabbing, block paving, patios, services, site safety, and working safely around plant and underground services.

The ideal candidate will be occupationally competent in Groundworks and have strong hands-on site experience. You'll understand current site practice and be confident training learners to become work-ready. Previous teaching experience is not essential, as full teacher training can be provided. What matters most is practical industry knowledge, reliability, maturity, and a genuine passion for helping people develop.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Groundworker to transition into education, help build a new provision from the ground up, and potentially progress into an academy lead or management-style role as the department grows.

Deliver Groundworks apprenticeships and Skills Bootcamps.
