Weymouth and Kingston Maurward College is calling on experienced professionals in the construction and engineering industries to inspire the next generation of skilled workers.

For those ready to ‘come off the tools’ and share their knowledge with tomorrow’s workforce, the College is offering a range of rewarding opportunities that combine job security, excellent benefits and a chance to make a lasting impact.

The College is actively recruiting for lecturing roles in construction and engineering, as well as Apprenticeship Training Coordinators (ATCs). While teaching experience is welcomed, it is not a requirement, and the College can provide comprehensive teacher training and assessor qualifications for successful candidates.

“At Weymouth College, we believe in investing in people,” said Principal Kate Wills.

“We’re not just looking for skilled professionals; we’re looking for mentors and role models who want to shape the future of these vital industries.

“Whether you’ve worked in construction, electrical engineering or mechanical trades, this is an opportunity to bring your real-world expertise into the classroom.”

By stepping into education, professionals in construction and engineering have the chance to pass on their skills, experiences and industry insights to eager students. This is a unique opportunity to leave a legacy in industries vital to the local economy and our communities.

Transitioning from trades to teaching also plays a crucial role in filling the skills gap. The UK needs 937,000 new recruits in building and construction trades over the next ten years to meet the growing demand by 2032 – and the educators to prepare them.

Moving into a career in education would involve noticeable changes in scene and responsibilities. You’ll develop new skills, reflecting on your abilities and taking advantage of adult courses and training, opening up opportunities to progress into higher academic roles.

You will also benefit from an inclusive working environment, designed to support staff both personally and professionally. Benefits include:

  • Generous holiday allowance
  • Focus on work-life balance: Policies and initiatives centered on staff wellbeing providing a flexible and supportive environment
  • Opportunities for development and progression: Tailored training and growth pathways for those entering education or advancing their teaching careers
  • Competitive Pension: Comprehensive support for your future
  • Health & Well-being Benefits: designed to support our employees’ overall health and wellbeing.
