What will I be doing?
Are you looking for a rewarding career change that allows you to make a real difference to the lives of young people in Somerset?
Role Overview:
As a Workshop Tutor, you will work directly with young people, teaching them valuable skills and delivering entry-level qualifications in construction. Ideally, you will have other practical skills such as carpentry or CDT. You will work closely with our team of Youth Workers to deliver engaging and practical sessions in our workshop in Bridgwater and other community settings. This may involve some countywide travel.
