About the role

What We're Looking For

We are seeking a practical, organised and enthusiastic Plumbing Technician to support the delivery of high-quality learning within our Construction department. Applicants should hold a relevant vocational qualification in Plumbing, Building Services, Construction or an associated trade at Level 2, or be able to demonstrate equivalent practical industry experience. English and Mathematics at Level 2 (or equivalent) are required where applicable. A Level 3 qualification in a related area, along with First Aid, Health and Safety, or teaching, assessing or training qualifications, would be advantageous.

The successful candidate will bring substantial hands-on experience from the plumbing, construction, property maintenance or wider building services sector, with a strong understanding of safe working practices and industry standards. You will be confident in the use and maintenance of tools, equipment and materials commonly found within construction and workshop environments and possess strong technical knowledge of plumbing and associated trades. Excellent organisational skills, good IT skills and the ability to maintain a safe, efficient and well-equipped working environment are essential. You will also have the enthusiasm and motivation to support and inspire learners aged 14 to 19, helping them develop practical skills, confidence and industry knowledge. Experience of mentoring apprentices or trainees, working across multiple construction disciplines, or supporting learning within an education or training environment would be beneficial.

Please note that the essential qualifications, skills and experience outlined above are those that applicants would normally be expected to meet in order to be considered for appointment. Candidates who also meet the desirable criteria may be given additional consideration where applications are closely matched.
