Ever thought about changing up your career? Transition to teaching!  

If you enjoy working in the construction industry but wonder how you can change up your career, we have a perfect solution for you!

The education sector offers a fulfilling career that allows you to share your knowledge and expertise with others and help shape the next generation of construction workers. With the next academic year around the corner, now is the perfect time to start looking for a teaching job to secure your ideal role.

Role and benefits

Further education teachers work with 16 to 19-year-old construction students. They need someone like you to share practical and theoretical knowledge with them and assess their work before they go onto site.

Teaching offers job security, competitive salaries, and excellent benefits, including pension schemes, holiday entitlements, sick pay, and flexibility. You can teach part-time, full time or on an ad-hoc basis. Teaching is also a rewarding career where you can positively impact your students' lives and improve the future quality of workers. 

Am I the right person for the job?

The requirements vary depending on the subject area, level of teaching, and location. However, if you enjoy working with young people, have good communication, time management, organisational and interpersonal skills, and have experience working in construction, you will be suitable for the role. 

What do I need to start my teaching career?

You will need to pass a DBS check as you will be working with students under 18. Your DBS check can be done through us; our in-house vetting team can support you with that. Experience working with young people would also be an advantage, so make sure to add that to your resume if you have it. Most colleges in the UK do not require teaching qualifications or a degree to get started. Our specialists will be able to advise you on what is needed to get your ideal role.

What do I do next?

Start by researching the subject and levels you'd like to teach in, prepare your CV with a list of your qualifications and past work experience, and get in touch with our team. Our consultants will support you further in the process, provide tailored offers to meet your requirements and help you secure your new job ahead of the competition.
