Carpentry & Joinery Lecturer (Temporary)

Carpentry & Joinery Lecturer

Temporary

Location: the North West

Are you an experienced carpenter or joiner looking to pass on your skills and inspire the next generation of tradespeople?

About the Role

You'll join a further education provider in the North West, teaching carpentry and joinery to learners working towards industry-recognised qualifications. You'll split your time between the workshop and the classroom, bringing your trade experience into every session.

Whether you're stepping off the tools for the first time or you're already an established FE lecturer, you'll be supported to deliver teaching that prepares learners for real work on site and at the bench.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Teaching carpentry and joinery programmes from entry level to Level 3.
• Delivering practical workshop sessions alongside classroom-based theory.
• Developing learning resources and assessing learner progress.
• Reinforcing workshop safety and trade standards throughout your teaching.
• Preparing learners for employment, apprenticeships and further study.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

• A Level 3 qualification (or higher) in carpentry and joinery or a related construction discipline
• Significant industry experience within carpentry and joinery
• Level 2 (or equivalent) in English and maths
• A genuine passion for developing the next generation of skilled tradespeople

Desirable (but not essential):

• A recognised teaching qualification such as PGCE, Cert Ed or Level 5 DET
• Assessor qualifications

Shape the next generation of craftspeople

If you're ready to pass your trade on to learners who want to build a career in construction, we'd love to hear from you.
