About the Role

A further education provider in the South West is looking for a Carpentry Lecturer to deliver practical workshop sessions and classroom theory to learners working towards their carpentry and joinery qualifications.

You'll combine hands-on demonstration with the technical knowledge learners need, helping them build the skills, confidence and professional behaviours that employers expect.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Delivering practical workshop sessions and classroom-based theory lessons in carpentry and joinery.
  • Assessing learners' work and providing clear, constructive feedback on their progress.
  • Planning lessons, schemes of work and learning resources.
  • Maintaining a safe, well-organised workshop that reflects industry standards.
  • Supporting learners through tutorials, reviews and progression planning.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • Level 3 qualification (or higher) in Carpentry and Joinery or a related construction discipline
  • A strong trade background in carpentry and joinery
  • Good communication and workshop management skills
  • Sound understanding of health and safety in a practical environment

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 or apprenticeship setting

Shape the Next Generation of Craftspeople

If you're ready to step off the tools and share your trade with learners starting out in the industry, we'd love to hear from you.
