Electrical Lecturer

If you’re a qualified electrician with a knack for sharing your knowledge with apprentices, apply now to join our training team and begin a rewarding new chapter in  your career.

At our purpose-built centres we train all of our own apprentices and with their numbers on the rise, we’re looking to expand our team by recruiting someone who’d like to put their years of electrical experience to use in a new field.

We will provide on-the-job training and fund your teaching qualifications and you’ll be mentored by existing members of the team, most of whom joined us straight ‘off the tools’ for a change in career direction.  

Although our training team is primarily based in Gloucester we also deliver apprentice training in Exeter, Bracknell, Milton Keynes and Birmingham so candidates could be based in any of these locations and flexibility to travel is expected (and overnight accommodation can be arranged if required). 

For electricians new to teaching salary will start at £32,500, increasing over time as teaching qualifications and experience are gained. A welcome bonus will also be payable in two parts: £1,500 after successful completion of a six-month probation period and a further £1,000 18 months after joining, subject to starting a level 5/7 teaching qualification.

Working hours are based on a 39-hour week Monday to Friday, including an early finish on Fridays.
