Scaffolder

View this career for different education levels:

Imagine you're building a giant LEGO castle, but it's too tall to reach the top. A scaffolder is like a super builder who puts up a temporary metal frame all around the castle so other builders can safely reach every part of it! Scaffolders put together strong metal poles and wooden planks to make safe walkways and platforms high up in the air. This helps people like bricklayers, painters, and roofers do their jobs on tall buildings, bridges, or even big stages for concerts. It's a very important job because it helps everyone work safely and stops accidents. To be a scaffolder, you need to be good at working with your hands, not be scared of heights, and always follow safety rules very carefully. They use special tools to connect the poles and make sure everything is strong and secure. Once the other builders are finished, the scaffolders carefully take down the frame, making sure to leave everything tidy and safe. It's a hands-on job that helps make big projects happen all over the UK!
