Location: South East London
Working Pattern: Full-Time (2 days teaching, 3 days skills coaching)
Salary: £33,762 - £44,027
The Opportunity
Are you an experienced trade specialist in carpentry or property maintenance looking to transition your hands‑on expertise into a rewarding career in education? We are partnering with a prominent Further Education provider in South East London to recruit a versatile Skills Coach and Lecturer. This balanced role allows you to spend two days a week teaching Property Maintenance Operations in workshop settings and three days on‑site mentoring and reviewing Carpentry apprentices. It is an exceptional chance to step back from full‑time site work while inspiring the next generation of skilled trade professionals.
About the Setting
Our partner college group operates across modern campuses in South East London, delivering high‑quality vocational education and apprenticeship programmes aligned with industry needs. Dedicated to social mobility and community impact, the setting fosters a supportive, collaborative environment. Staff benefit from comprehensive ongoing professional development, including full support to work towards recognised teaching and assessing qualifications.
Day-to-Day Responsibilities
- Deliver structured teaching to Property Maintenance Operations (PMO) apprentices two days per week in classroom and workshop settings.
- Act as a Carpentry Skills Coach three days per week, assessing, coaching, and reviewing apprentices across college campuses, workplace sites, and online platforms.
- Conduct initial learner assessments, create Individual Learning Plans (ILPs), and track apprentice progress toward End-Point Assessment (EPA) gateways.
- Provide dynamic assessment, constructive feedback, and regular progress reviews to ensure full occupational competence.
- Liaise directly with employers, line managers, and Internal Quality Assurers (IQAs) to coordinate on-and-off-the-job training opportunities.
- Mentor apprentices facing barriers to learning, supporting them to achieve their qualification and long-term career ambitions.
What We Are Looking For
- Qualifications & Experience: Level 3 vocational qualification in Carpentry or Property Maintenance, at least 5 years of recent industry experience, and Level 2 (GCSE grade C/4 or equivalent) in English and Maths. A teaching qualification (PTTLS minimum) or assessor award (TAQA/A1/D32/D33) is desirable, or a willingness to study towards them.
- Characteristics: Clear communication skills, strong administration habits for accurate record-keeping, and an encouraging mentoring style.
- Transport & Commute: A full UK driving licence and access to a personal vehicle are essential for site visits across South East London.
Safeguarding & Compliance
Our partner organisation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people, and vulnerable adults. All successful appointments are subject to an Enhanced DBS check with relevant Barred List checks, accounting for all CV gaps, online social media checks in line with KCSiE guidance, and proof of right to work in the UK.
