Lecturer - NEET Provision (Multi-skills, Construction)

This role involves delivering engaging teaching and practical training to learners who are not in education, employment or training, helping them develop confidence and a broad multi skills foundation. The focus is on introducing a range of construction trades, supporting learners to build employability skills and progress into further study or work. Applicants are not expected to be specialists in every trade, but should have a good working knowledge and the ability to support learners in developing core practical skills.

 

This role differs from traditional mainstream lecturing roles due to the intensive and relationship led nature of the provision. The postholder will play a central role within a relationship led NEET re engagement programme, delivering practical vocational learning that supports young people to rebuild confidence and resilience, routine and readiness for progression into education, employment or training.

The post holder will work with small cohorts of learners who may have experienced disrupted education, poor attendance, anxiety, trauma, low confidence or previous disengagement from learning. The role therefore requires not only strong vocational and teaching skills, but also the ability to engage, encourage, motivate and mentor young people through consistent, supportive and restorative practice. The role therefore requires flexibility, empathy, patience and a strong commitment to supporting vulnerable young people to succeed. 

The lecturer will work closely with the Youth Engagement and Inclusion Worker and external partners, including Positive Steps, to provide a structured and supportive learner journey.
