This is an exciting opportunity to shape the future of vocational education, strengthen industry partnerships and create outstanding opportunities for the next generation of construction professionals.

You will play a key role in ensuring the curriculum remains ambitious, relevant and responsive to changing industry needs, helping students build confidence, capability and career aspirations.
The opportunity to shape what comes next
This role offers the chance to:
- Lead and develop an important 16-18 Construction curriculum.
- Influence the future direction of construction education within the College.
- Build stronger links between industry and education.
- Develop innovative learning experiences that prepare learners for employment.

- Professional experience within the Construction sector.
- A passion for vocational education and learner achievement.
- Strong leadership and people-development skills.
