Job Description

Machining Lecturer

Temporary | Contract

Are you an experienced machinist looking to pass your technical expertise on to the next generation?

About the Role

You'll join a further education provider to deliver theory and practical teaching across machining provision, helping learners build the technical and professional skills they need to progress into employment, apprenticeships or further study.

You'll work with learners at varied stages of their studies, adapting your delivery so each one can make progress, and you'll assess their work against awarding body standards.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Planning and delivering engaging machining theory and workshop sessions.
  • Preparing schemes of work, lesson resources and assessment materials.
  • Assessing learners' work and providing clear, constructive feedback.
  • Monitoring attendance, progress and achievement, and putting support in place where learners are at risk.
  • Contributing to curriculum development and quality improvement.
  • Maintaining a safe, structured and professional learning environment.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • A Level 3 qualification or equivalent in machining, mechanical engineering or manufacturing
  • Strong practical and technical knowledge of machining operations
  • A commitment to supporting learners to achieve their potential

Desirable (but not essential):

  • Experience of teaching, assessing or instructing learners
  • A teaching qualification, or a willingness to work towards one

If you're ready to share your workshop experience with learners starting out in the trade, we'd love to hear from you.
