Job Description

Carpentry Technician

Temporary | Contract

Location: the West Midlands

Are you an experienced carpenter or joiner looking to use your trade skills to support the next generation of tradespeople?

About the Role

An opportunity has arisen for a Carpentry Technician to join a further education provider in the West Midlands. You'll work alongside lecturers to prepare and support practical sessions, drawing on your own trade experience to help learners build their skills in the workshop.

You'll keep workshops, tools and equipment in good order and support the safe use of the facilities, while encouraging and guiding learners as they work through practical activities.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Supporting lecturers with the preparation and delivery of practical lessons.
  • Assisting learners across different levels to develop their carpentry skills.
  • Maintaining carpentry workshops, tools and equipment to a high standard.
  • Supporting the safe and effective use of workshop facilities.
  • Providing guidance and encouragement to learners during practical activities.
  • Helping ensure health and safety procedures are followed across the workshop.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • Relevant industry experience within carpentry
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills
  • Ability to motivate and support learners
  • A strong understanding of workshop health and safety

Desirable (but not essential):

  • Good organisational and IT skills

Previous teaching experience is not essential. The key requirement is strong industry knowledge and the ability to support and motivate learners.

If you're ready to step away from site and help develop the next generation of carpenters, we'd love to hear from you.
