Carpentry Lecturer

Temporary

Location: the East of England

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, you'll deliver engaging theory and practical workshop sessions across carpentry and joinery programmes, helping learners build the technical skills, industry standards knowledge and employability prospects they need to progress.

You'll teach across a range of levels and abilities, bringing current industry practice into your teaching and adapting your approach so every learner can succeed. If you haven't taught before, that's no barrier — you'll be supported to work towards a recognised teaching qualification.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Delivering high-quality classroom and workshop teaching across carpentry and joinery programmes.
• Teaching and assessing learners at a range of levels, including full-time students and apprentices.
• Planning, preparing and assessing learning activities that support progression and achievement.
• Providing timely, constructive feedback that helps learners improve.
• Maintaining a safe, well-organised workshop environment and reinforcing health and safety standards.
• 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 in carpentry and joinery
• Level 2 (or equivalent) in English and maths
• 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 with support
• An assessor qualification

Pass Your Trade On

If you're ready to bring your trade into the workshop and inspire the next generation of carpenters and joiners, we'd love to hear from you.
