Job Description

Hairdressing Lecturer

Temporary | Contract

Are you an experienced hairdresser looking to pass your skills on to the next generation?

About the Role

An education provider is looking for a Hairdressing Lecturer to deliver practical and theory sessions to learners working towards recognised hairdressing qualifications.

You'll plan and deliver engaging sessions, assess learner progress and help students build the technical skills and confidence they need to move into the industry. You'll bring your own experience of the trade into the salon and classroom, making learning relevant and up to date, and you'll create a positive, professional environment where learners are motivated to achieve.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Planning and delivering hairdressing theory and practical sessions across a range of levels.
  • Bringing industry experience into teaching to keep learning current and relevant.
  • Assessing learner work and tracking progress towards qualifications.
  • Adapting teaching to meet the needs of individual learners.
  • Supporting curriculum delivery and development.
  • Maintaining high standards of professional practice, health and safety in the salon.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • A Level 3 qualification in Hairdressing, or equivalent
  • Substantial industry experience as a hairdresser or salon practitioner
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to motivate learners of differing abilities

Desirable (but not essential):

  • A recognised teaching qualification, or a willingness to work towards one
  • An assessor qualification
  • Previous experience of teaching, assessing or training learners

If you're ready to use your experience in the salon to shape the hairdressers of the future, we'd love to hear from you.
