This is an exciting opportunity for a passionate Multi-Skills Lecturer, Construction Tutor, Painting & Decorating Tutor or experienced tradesperson with teaching experience to deliver practical vocational training to adult learners.

You will be supporting learners to develop valuable, employment-focused skills across Painting & Decorating, Tiling and Plastering, helping them gain confidence, qualifications and practical experience that can support their future career.

As a Multi-Skills Lecturer, you will:

• Deliver engaging and practical vocational sessions to adult learners.
• Teach across Painting & Decorating, Tiling and Plastering.
• Plan and deliver high-quality lessons in line with the curriculum.
