Job Description

Carpentry & Joinery Lecturer

Temporary | Contract

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

About the Role

An education provider is looking for a Carpentry & Joinery Lecturer to deliver theory and practical workshop sessions to learners working towards recognised carpentry and joinery qualifications.

You'll plan and deliver engaging sessions, assess learner progress and help learners build the technical skills, safe working practices and confidence they need to move into the trade. You'll bring your own site or bench experience into the workshop and classroom, keeping learning current and relevant, and you'll create a positive, professional environment where learners are motivated to achieve.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Planning and delivering carpentry and joinery theory and practical workshop sessions across a range of levels.
  • Preparing schemes of work, lesson resources and assessments.
  • Assessing learner work, tracking progress and providing timely, constructive feedback.
  • Adapting teaching to meet the needs of individual learners.
  • Supporting curriculum delivery and development.
  • Preparing learners for employment, apprenticeships and further study.
  • Maintaining high standards of professional practice, health and safety in the workshop.

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, or a willingness to work towards one
  • Assessor qualifications
  • Previous experience of teaching or mentoring in a further education setting

Shape the Future of the Trade

If you're ready to step off the tools and help learners build a career in construction, we'd love to hear from you.
