We are seeking a dedicated and knowledgeable Lecturer in Construction (Brick) to join our team and play a vital role in shaping the next generation of skilled tradespeople. You will be responsible for the teaching and assessment of learners on the programmes of study, co-ordinating with the course team, Head of Cardigan and external industry providers in the delivery of the curriculum. Whilst driving your own performance, you will also be providing the very best experience to learners, fostering a positive and inclusive learning environment and promoting student engagement, participation, and success.

The Construction Department is based on the Cardigan Campus of Coleg Ceredigion, it includes two main trade areas; Bricklaying and Carpentry. Both trade areas are delivered within purpose built workshops and can accommodate a high number of learners per course. We offer Level 1 in both Bricklaying and Carpentry, Level 2 Foundation courses in Bricklaying and plastering as well as Level 2 in Carpentry and Roofing. We also offer Level 3 Apprenticeships in Bricklaying, Carpentry and Joinery.

We collaborate with employers from all over Ceredigion and surrounding counties, with a high number of Apprenticeships within Bricklaying and Carpentry successfully completing their respective courses. We consider our Construction 14-16 Schools Provision as an introduction to FE and allow learners to feed directly from this into mainstream courses. We participate regularly in Skills Competitions, at both regional and National level, and we have enjoyed tremendous success over the years and wish for this to continue.

The successful candidate will join the existing teams and will be expected to contribute to all aspects of these sections as well as other provisions within the Curriculum Area.
