Share Your Skills and Support the Next Generation
Are you a qualified plumber with some practical experience and a passion for helping others learn?
We're looking for a Technician Trainer - Plumbing to join our welcoming Construction team at Stamford College, part of the Inspire Education Group (IEG).
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys hands-on work, wants a stable, rewarding career, and is ready to use their trade knowledge to guide and support learners - without the pressures of working on-site or managing projects.
What You'll Be Doing
In this varied and practical role, you'll:
* Support the delivery of plumbing training sessions and workshops.
* Demonstrate tools, techniques, and safe working practices to students.
* Help assess learners' practical skills and provide constructive feedback.
* Keep the plumbing workshop tidy, organised, and well-stocked.
* Carry out routine maintenance and minor repairs on tools and equipment.
* Supervise students during practical tasks, ensuring all safety procedures are followed.
* Support teaching staff with the setup and smooth running of sessions.
About You
You don't need to be a fully qualified teacher - just someone with a solid plumbing background and a willingness to learn.
We're looking for someone who:
* Holds a Level 2 (or above) qualification in Plumbing.
* Has hands-on experience in the plumbing trade (college, apprenticeship, or industry).
* Takes pride in their work and enjoys supporting others.
* Is organised, reliable, and safety-conscious.
* Has a positive, can-do attitude and enjoys working as part of a team.
If you're looking to move away from the tools but still want to use your plumbing skills in a meaningful way, this could be your next step.
Why Join Stamford College?
At Inspire Education Group, we value people who are practical, passionate, and committed to making a difference. You'll be part of a supportive team where you can keep developing your skills and even work towards teaching qualifications - all while helping students start their own careers in plumbing.
