Job Title: Lecturer in Welding
Location: North Yorkshire (commutable to Middlesbrough) — permanent full‑time role
Salary: £29,565–£43,562 per annum
About the Role
We are working with a highly regarded, Ofsted‑rated college in North Yorkshire to recruit a passionate and experienced Welding Lecturer. In this vital role, you will:

• Develop learners’ proficiency in MIG, TIG and arc welding, metal fabrication, blueprint reading, and equipment maintenance
• Deliver both practical hands‑on welding sessions and theory-based lessons, including health & safety, welding principles, and fabrication standards
• Provide clear, realistic workplace‑focused training to prepare students for real-world welding and fabrication environments
• Manage high-quality instruction, assessment, and progress tracking to help learners achieve their qualifications and their professional goals
• Support students’ understanding of safety standards, professional practice, and industry expectations to prepare them for a career in welding and fabrication

What We’re Looking For

• A recognised welding qualification, Level 3 welding at minimum
• Teaching qualification or willingness to work towards one
• Practical welding and fabrication experience (MIG, TIG, arc welding, metal fabrication, blueprint reading, maintenance)
• Strong communication and teaching skills — capable of delivering practical sessions and theoretical instruction clearly and safely
• A commitment to fostering a supportive, inclusive learning environment that encourages progression and success

Prior experience in a teaching or training role within further education, apprenticeships or vocational training is highly desirable, but we are open to skilled welders with the right qualifications and passion for teaching.

What’s On Offer

• Competitive salary within the stated range, under a permanent contract
• Full-time position offering 45 days annual leave and enrolment in Teachers’ Pension
• Professional working environment in an Ofsted-rated Further Education college
• The chance to play a key role in shaping the next generation of welding and fabrication professionals

Why This Role Matters
This is more than a teaching job — you’ll have the opportunity to shape the futures of aspiring welders, fabricators, and tradespeople. You will help students develop real-world skills that lead to meaningful employment, and you’ll contribute to a supportive, high-quality learning environment trusted by local industry.
