Yate, Bristol

Are you from a machining or workshop background and looking to reduce your working hours whilst still using your engineering skills and experience?

Do you want to use your hands–on engineering experience to inspire the next generation, without the long hours, production targets or shop–floor pressure, whilst enjoying the flexibility of working just 2–3 days per week?

This is a rare opportunity to join a specialist, growing training provider with an excellent reputation for quality and stability. They are known for investing in their people, providing full training and support to help you transition into a rewarding teaching career.

You'll be part of a close–knit, professional team where the focus is on development, not output targets. The environment is structured, supportive and far more predictable than a traditional workshop, giving you a better work–life balance while still staying connected to your trade.

This is not about becoming a teacher overnight – it's about taking what you already know from industry and applying it in a new way. You'll be fully trained, supported and gradually developed into the role.

Working just 2–3 days per week in a well–equipped workshop environment, you'll support and guide learners through practical engineering skills such as manual machining, CNC milling, turning, bench fitting and general workshop techniques, helping them build confidence and competence in their trade.

The ideal candidate will have an NVQ Level 3 in Engineering or a related technical subject and a background in manual or CNC machining, with experience in milling, turning or similar workshop processes.

This role would suit someone with a machining background who is looking to reduce their working hours, achieve a better work–life balance or transition towards retirement whilst still making use of their skills and experience.

Deliver hands–on workshop–based engineering training 2–3 days per week

Support learners through practical machining sessions, including turning, milling and bench fitting

Demonstrate engineering techniques and safe workshop practices

Provide guidance, feedback and encouragement to help learners develop
