Consideration would be given to full and part time applicants. Being a strong, dynamic and innovative multi-skills construction tutor, you will play a pivotal role in the development of this new curriculum area. Supporting the Curriculum Manager, you will assist in planning and implementing, an evolving curriculum that directly responds to the intentions of the learner’s, the community and the employer’s needs as well as the service priorities. You will deliver across a range of accredited and unaccredited courses at our new Construction and Environmental Sustainability Hub in Norwich and / or King’s Lynn. You will have a sound understanding of how the industry is positively responding to its environmental impact, and how to support the reduction of the industry’s carbon footprint.

As an individual with a wealth of industry and knowledge across a range of trades, you will utilise your outstanding abilities to make a positive impact on your learners as they upskill, change career direction, or start a new career in this priority area for the county.
