Job Description

Painting and Decorating Lecturer

Temporary | Contract

Salary: £50 per hour

Are you an experienced painter and decorator looking to pass on your trade skills to the next generation?

About the Role

A further education provider in London is looking for a Painting and Decorating Lecturer to join their teaching team, with an anticipated start date of November 2026. You'll deliver practical, hands-on teaching to learners working towards painting and decorating qualifications, bringing your trade experience into the workshop and classroom.

You'll plan and prepare engaging sessions, assess learner progress and provide the support students need to build the skills and confidence to progress into employment or an apprenticeship.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Planning and delivering practical workshop and classroom sessions across painting and decorating qualifications.
  • Designing schemes of work, lesson plans and assessment schedules.
  • Assessing learner work, tracking progress and giving constructive feedback.
  • Maintaining high standards of health and safety within the workshop environment.
  • Providing tutorial and pastoral support to help learners stay on track.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • A relevant vocational qualification in painting and decorating at Level 2 or above
  • Practical industry experience in the trade
  • Strong communication and organisational skills

Desirable (but not essential):

  • A teaching qualification such as PGCE, Cert Ed, DET or AET
  • Experience of teaching or training in a further education setting
  • Experience across additional construction trades

If you're ready to use your trade experience to shape the next generation of decorators, we'd love to hear from you.
