Teach practical carpentry, joinery, and timber technology in workshop and classroom environments.
Guide students through level-appropriate assessments, trade standards, and health & safety compliance.
Mentor apprentices preparing for their End-Point Assessment (EPA) and entry into the industry.
Design engaging lesson plans that connect traditional hand skills with modern site practices.
What We're Looking For
Trade Experience: Level 3 NVQ/Advanced Craft in Carpentry & Joinery (or equivalent site/bench experience).
Teaching Experience: A recognized teaching qualification (PGCE, Cert Ed, Level 5 DTLLS) or a willingness to work toward one with our support.
Assessments: Assessor qualifications (A1 / CAVA) are desirable.
Mindset: Strong communication skills, patience, and a genuine drive to inspire young trade professionals.
Why Join Us?
Work-Life Balance: Generous holiday allowance + bank holidays and pension scheme.
Professional Development: Fully funded teaching qualifications if you are making the transition from site to college.
Modern Facilities: Access to well-equipped workshops and modern machinery.
