I've no experience of building a new wall from scratch with bricks. But amateurs who've done it generally say it's not hard-hard, just time consuming.
For something non-structural I'd say give it a go. My assumption is the steepest part of the learning curve will be getting the mix right and how to handle the mix.
Tbh my guess is your only chance of getting someone to do that work is if one of your neighbours is building an extension. If you want someone to do it, I'd really recommend trying to take a weekday morning off and walking up and down all your adjacent streets and asking any builders you come across.
