Painting and Decorating Lecturer
Temporary
Location: the South West
Are you an experienced painter and decorator looking to pass your trade skills on to the next generation?
About the Role
Working with a further education provider, you'll teach and support learners on painting and decorating programmes, planning your sessions, delivering practical workshop and theory work and keeping students moving towards their qualification.
You'll bring your trade experience into the workshop, assess work, give clear feedback and work as part of a wider teaching team.
Your responsibilities will include:
Planning and delivering engaging painting and decorating sessions for a range of learners.
Delivering practical workshop training alongside the underpinning trade theory.
Assessing learner work and tracking progress against qualification requirements.
Giving timely, constructive feedback and putting support in place where learners need it.
Maintaining high standards of health and safety in practical sessions.
Supporting learners to develop the skills and confidence to progress into employment or an apprenticeship.
What We're Looking For
Essential:
A Level 2 qualification or higher in painting and decorating, or a related construction trade
Substantial hands-on industry experience as a painter and decorator
Good communication and organisational skills
A genuine interest in supporting and developing learners
Desirable (but not essential):
A teaching or assessing qualification
Previous experience of teaching, training or mentoring
Experience across additional construction trades
If you don't yet hold a teaching qualification, that needn't stop you — support is available to gain one alongside the role.
Pass Your Trade On
If you're ready to use your trade skills to build the next generation of decorators, we'd love to hear from you.
