Are you a master of your craft with a passion for passing on the torch? We're looking for a dedicated Joinery Skills Tutor to join our Work-Based Learning team. This isn't just a teaching job; it's a chance to shape the next generation of carpenters and joiners, turning enthusiastic learners into elite tradespeople.

The Role: Why It Matters

You won't just be checking boxes; you'll be a mentor, a coach, and an industry expert.

You will:

• Bring the Craft to Life: Deliver creative, engaging sessions that bridge the gap between the workshop and the site.
• Support the Journey: Use your industry insight to develop the Knowledge, Skills, and Behaviours (KSBs) that modern employers crave.
• Be the Expert in the Field: Conduct on-site performance reviews and assessments, ensuring our apprentices meet the highest professional standards.
• Stay Connected: Use your tech-savviness to track progress through e-portfolios, keeping everyone-from the student to the employer-on the path to success.

What You'll Bring to the Bench

We value your hands-on experience as much as your paperwork. We're looking for:

• Industry Roots: Solid experience in Joinery or Woodworking.
• Trade Credentials: An NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) in a relevant wood trade.
• The Right Tools: An A1/V1 Assessor Award and a Level 5 Teaching Qualification (or the drive to work toward them with our support!).
• People Skills: The ability to build strong relationships with a diverse range of learners and partner organisations.

Department Info

You'll report to the Work-Based Learning Team Leader, working alongside a collaborative team of Curriculum Managers and Lecturers. We pride ourselves on being flexible, proactive and, most importantly, student-focused.
