Job Description

Carpentry & Joinery Lecturer

Temporary | Contract

Location: the North West

Are you an experienced carpenter or joiner ready to pass your trade on to the next generation?

About the Role

You'll join a further education provider in the North West, delivering theory and practical teaching across carpentry and joinery programmes. You'll work with learners in the classroom and the workshop, building the hand skills, site knowledge and professional standards the construction industry expects.

If you're coming straight from site or bench, that's welcomed. Teaching experience isn't essential, and you'll be supported to work towards a recognised teaching qualification.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Delivering engaging practical and theory sessions across carpentry and joinery programmes.
  • Planning lessons, assessing learner work and giving constructive feedback.
  • Maintaining high standards of health, safety and workshop practice.
  • 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
  • Industry experience within carpentry and joinery
  • A commitment to supporting and motivating learners

Desirable (but not essential):

  • A recognised teaching qualification, or a willingness to work towards one
  • An assessor qualification
  • Level 2 (or equivalent) in English and maths

If you're ready to step off the tools and help shape the future of the construction industry, we'd love to hear from you.

What's on Offer

  • Support to work towards recognised teaching qualification
