Carpentry Tutor

Permanent

HMP Weyland

Salary: From 30,000 per annum

Are you a skilled carpentry professional looking for a role where your trade expertise genuinely changes lives?

About the Role

We are seeking an inspiring Carpentry Tutor to join an education provider in the justice sector, delivering meaningful vocational learning within a prison education setting. This is a unique opportunity to support learners on their rehabilitation journey, helping them build the practical skills, confidence and qualifications needed to progress into employment and shape brighter futures.

You'll deliver engaging and inclusive carpentry lessons to learners with a wide range of educational backgrounds, learning needs and abilities. Many of your learners will have had difficult experiences of education, so patience, empathy and a genuine belief in each individual's potential will matter as much as your technical knowledge.

Key Responsibilities

• Delivering carpentry qualifications to groups of learners.
• Conducting initial assessments and diagnostics to identify learners' starting points and needs.
• Planning and adapting lessons to meet a diverse range of abilities and learning needs.
• Supporting learners to develop practical workshop skills alongside the confidence to apply them.
• Tracking and recording learner progress towards their qualifications.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

• Relevant trade experience and qualifications in carpentry
• Strong communication skills and the ability to engage learners with varied needs
• A genuine commitment to supporting rehabilitation through education

Desirable (but not essential):

• A teaching or assessing qualification
• Previous experience delivering training or teaching in a vocational setting

No teaching qualification? No problem. Full support and funding is available to help you work towards the required teaching qualification while you settle into the role.

If you're ready to bring your carpentry expertise into a role that genuinely changes lives, we'd love to hear from you.
