About the Role
A further education provider in the East Midlands is looking for a Painting and Decorating Lecturer to join their team. You'll deliver practical workshop sessions and supporting theory across Painting and Decorating programmes, bringing your trade experience into the learning environment so that learners understand how the industry works in practice.
You'll support learners through their programmes, tracking their progress and preparing them for progression into employment or an apprenticeship.
Key Responsibilities
- Deliver engaging workshop and classroom sessions across Painting and Decorating programmes.
- Plan, prepare and assess learning activities, including marking, feedback and progress reviews.
- Maintain accurate records for attendance, achievement and awarding body requirements.
- Maintain high standards of health and safety within the workshop environment.
- Contribute to curriculum development so that content reflects current industry standards.
- Support learners in developing their practical skills and employability.
What We're Looking For
Essential:
- Occupational experience in painting and decorating
- A Level 2 or above vocational qualification in painting and decorating or a related trade
- Strong communication and organisational skills
Desirable (but not essential):
- A teaching or assessing qualification
- Experience across additional construction trades
- Previous experience of teaching or training
If you don't yet hold a teaching qualification, that's not a barrier — support is available to help you gain one alongside the role.
If you're ready to use your trade skills to build the next generation of decorators, we'd love to hear from you.
