Location: the South West

Are you an experienced machinist looking to pass your skills on to the next generation of engineers?

About the Role

You'll join a further education provider to deliver machining programmes to learners working towards industry-recognised engineering qualifications. It's a chance to bring your workshop experience into teaching, helping learners build the practical technique and underpinning knowledge the sector expects.

You don't need previous teaching experience to apply. If you have a strong background in machining, full support will be available to help you develop as a teacher, including mentoring and ongoing development.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Planning and delivering practical and theory sessions across machining qualifications.
• Assessing learner progress and providing constructive feedback to support achievement.
• Preparing learners for industry-recognised assessments and examinations.
• Maintaining a safe, well-organised workshop environment.
• Contributing to curriculum development so that content reflects current industry standards.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

• A Level 3 qualification in machining, mechanical engineering or manufacturing, or equivalent
• Strong practical and technical knowledge of machining operations
• Enthusiasm for supporting and motivating learners

Desirable (but not essential):

• A teaching qualification, or a willingness to work towards one
• Previous experience of teaching, assessing or instructing

Shape the next generation of machinists

If you're ready to bring your trade experience into the classroom and workshop, we'd love to hear from you.
