Carpentry Lecturer (Temporary)

Carpentry Lecturer

Temporary | Contract

Location: the West Midlands

Start date: 21 October 2026

Are you an experienced carpenter or joiner looking to step off the tools and pass your trade on to the next generation?

About the Role

As a Carpentry Lecturer with a further education provider in the West Midlands, you'll deliver practical and theoretical teaching to learners working towards their carpentry and joinery qualifications. You'll draw on your industry experience to bring real-world knowledge into the workshop and the classroom.

If you're new to teaching, that's not a barrier. Many successful lecturers come straight from industry, and you'll be supported to develop your teaching skills alongside your role.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Delivering practical and theoretical carpentry and joinery sessions to learners at a range of levels.
• Planning and preparing lessons, learning materials and assessments.
• Assessing learners' work and providing constructive feedback to support their progress.
• Monitoring learner attendance, progress and achievement.
• Supporting learners to develop the technical skills and professional standards employers expect.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

• A Level 3 qualification (or higher) in carpentry and joinery or a related construction discipline
• Significant industry experience in carpentry and joinery
• A genuine commitment to developing the next generation of skilled tradespeople

Desirable (but not essential):

• A recognised teaching qualification, or a willingness to work towards one
• An assessor qualification
• Previous experience of teaching or mentoring in a further education setting

If you're ready to pass your trade on and shape the careers of the tradespeople who follow you, we'd love to hear from you.
