Workshop Supervisor

Temporary | Contract

Location: the North East

About the Role

An education provider in the North East is looking for a Workshop Supervisor to oversee the day-to-day running of its workshop and support the delivery of practical training.

You'll keep the workshop safe, organised and ready for teaching, preparing tools, equipment and materials so that practical sessions run smoothly. You'll work alongside tutors and technical staff, and you'll support learners during hands-on activities as they build their skills and confidence.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Supervising the day-to-day running of the workshop and maintaining a safe, organised environment.
  • Preparing tools, equipment and materials for practical sessions.
  • Supporting learners during practical activities and helping them develop their skills.
  • Monitoring equipment, stock levels and maintenance requirements.
  • Upholding health and safety standards across the workshop.
  • Working closely with tutors and the wider technical team.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • Practical trade or technical experience in a workshop environment
  • A good understanding of health and safety in a workshop setting
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage a busy practical space
  • Confident communication skills when working with learners and colleagues

Desirable (but not essential):

  • Experience supporting learners or apprentices in a training environment
  • A relevant Level 3 qualification in your trade or technical area

If you're ready to put your practical experience to work supporting the next generation, we'd love to hear from you.
