Vocational Instructor & Practical Skills Lead

Job Title: Vocational Skills Instructor / Unqualified Practical Teacher (Construction, Mechanics, Catering, Hair & Beauty, Bushcraft or Animal Care)

Location: Blackpool & The Fylde Coast, Lancashire (FY postcodes)

Are you an experienced tradesperson, mechanic, chef, stylist, or outdoor specialist who loves sharing what you know?

You do not need a teaching degree or Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) to change lives in the classroom. In our specialist Alternative Provision (AP) schools in Blackpool, hands-on ability, genuine presence, and the skill to de-escalate and mentor young people matter far more than academic paperwork.

We are recruiting Vocational Instructors and Practical Skills Leaders to deliver real-world, hands-on learning to Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 students (ages 11-16) who struggle in traditional mainstream classrooms. Working in small workshop hubs, our students re-engage with education through practical accomplishments-building a stud wall, tuning a small engine, baking bread, styling hair, or working outdoors.

We Are Welcoming Instructors Across Any of the Following Disciplines:

• Construction & Trades: Carpentry, joinery, bricklaying, tiling, painting & decorating, or multi-trade DIY skills.

• Motor Vehicle & Mechanics:
