Introduction

We're looking for someone to lead our Construction Multiskills Team of tutors at our new Nuneaton centre. Maybe you have experience of leading a team but on the construction side your experience is limited to DIY. Or perhaps you have been a teacher for years and are looking to move away from mainstream education. Whether you have team leading experience, teaching experience or construction industry experience or a combination of those things, we're interested in hearing from you. For us it is about finding a Lead Tutor who believes in developing potential, both in their team members and in the learners their tutors are supporting.

If you work with us you'll discover that New Meaning Training offers education with a difference. We're different because we work to enable young people who achieved little progress at a mainstream setting, to discover how they are going to earn their own living, and to take their first steps towards this. The young people supported on any of the learning programmes can vary considerably in their learning needs. They have often failed at school because they were "forced" into a learning approach that did not suit their specific needs.

The key focus for this role is to support, guide and direct the development of tutors delivering the Constructions Multiskills course as well as the young people enrolled on that course. As a Lead Tutor for our Construction Multiskills programme you will be working as part of and leading a team to generate creative ideas for ways to support very hard to engage young people.

We are seeking a compassionate, motivated professional who is committed to confidentiality and passionate about sharing knowledge. This role requires someone who can build a strong rapport with young people from diverse backgrounds, inspiring and motivating them to reach their full potential.

About us

New Meaning Training (NMT) offers education with a difference. We are an alternative education provider dedicated to helping young people aged 15-25 discover their strengths and develop the confidence and skills to earn their own living.

For the 2025-2026 academic year, around 300 young people from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Warwickshire, West Midlands, and Berkshire will join one of our programmes. Many of these students are referred by secondary schools, pupil referral units, and Special Education Needs settings.

Our journey began in 2015 with the opening of our first centre in High Wycombe, originally known as "Toolshed." Ten years on, NMT continues to grow, with new centres planned for Nuneaton and Milton Keynes in September 2025.

Our NMT Warwickshire centres offer five learning programmes: Construction Multiskills, Motor Mechanics, Creative Art & Design, Sports and Computing. They incorporate functional skills qualifications in Maths and English, along with tutorials to support our well-rounded approach. We also provide a 'Transition Support' programme for young people with EHCPs who are not yet ready for a learning setting.

NMT tailors its programmes to meet the needs of its learners, considering Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. We comprehensively apply the principles of a Loving Care Approach (Trauma Informed Practice) to ensure all young people receive the support they need to thrive.
