Job Description
Hairdressing Educator
📍 Central Manchester | 💷 Up to £34,000 | ⏰ Full-Time or Part-Time | Flexible Working
About the role
Are you an experienced hairdresser who has started thinking about a career in education?
Perhaps you've found yourself training junior stylists, mentoring apprentices or helping colleagues develop their skills and thought, "I'd actually be really good at teaching."
This could be the opportunity you've been looking for.
We're working with a forward-thinking, independent hair and education business in Central Manchester that is looking for a Hairdressing Educator to join its growing team.
This isn't a traditional classroom teaching role.
You'll be bringing your real-world hairdressing experience into an inspiring, creative environment, helping aspiring hair professionals and career changers develop the practical skills, knowledge and confidence they need to build successful careers in the industry.
The academy has a genuinely modern approach to education. It's a trendy, creative environment where the usual rules don't necessarily apply. Yes, you can even write on the walls.
And importantly, you don't necessarily have to leave the industry behind. The team is happy to work flexibly with educators who want to continue working in a salon or within the wider hairdressing industry alongside their teaching.
What you'll be doing
You'll work with learners at different stages of their journey, including apprentices and people looking to make a career change into hairdressing.
Your role will include:
Delivering engaging, practical hairdressing training to learners.
Supporting apprentices to develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours they need to succeed.
Coaching, mentoring and motivating learners throughout their development.
Helping learners build confidence and become work-ready hair professionals.
Assessing learner progress and providing constructive feedback.
Supporting learners to work towards their apprenticeship or qualification.
Building positive relationships with learners and their employers.
Working with salon employers to support the development of apprentices.
Carrying out regular reviews with learners and employers.
Helping learners understand what good looks like in a real salon environment.
Sharing your own industry experience, techniques and knowledge to bring learning to life.
Creating an inclusive, positive and inspiring learning environment.
Keeping up to date with developments and best practice within the hairdressing industry.
What we're looking for
This role is about industry expertise and a genuine interest in developing the next generation of hair professionals.
You'll ideally have:
Level 2 and Level 3 Hairdressing qualifications.
Strong practical hairdressing experience.
A good understanding of the hairdressing industry and what employers expect from new talent.
Experience working with, mentoring or developing junior members of a team and/or apprentices.
A genuine interest in moving into education, training or mentoring.
You do not need a formal teaching or assessor qualification to apply.
What matters is that you can demonstrate you've started moving in the direction of education.
This could be through:
Studying towards a teaching or education qualification.
Having completed part of a teaching qualification.
Previous training or mentoring experience.
Experience supporting apprentices.
Delivering training within a salon.
Acting as a mentor or coach.
Previous teaching or education experience.
Any other evidence that you've actively explored a move into teaching.
If you've been working in hairdressing for years and have started thinking seriously about passing your knowledge on to the next generation, we'd love to hear from you.
Barbering experience or qualifications would be advantageous but aren't essential.
Why join?
This is a great opportunity for an experienced hair professional who wants to develop their career beyond the salon floor without having to leave the industry behind.
You'll get:
Salary up to £34,000, depending on experience.
Full-time or part-time options.
Flexible working arrangements.
The potential to continue working within the hairdressing industry alongside the role.
A creative, modern working environment in Central Manchester.
The opportunity to work with both apprentices and adults making a career change.
The chance to shape and inspire the next generation of hair professionals.
A supportive environment where your industry experience is genuinely valued.
Opportunities to develop your own career within education and training.
Interested?
If you're an experienced hairdresser who has been thinking about getting into education, this could be the perfect next step. You don't need to have all the teaching qualifications already. We're much more interested in your hairdressing expertise, your ability to inspire others and evidence that education is the direction you want your career to take.
