This is an exciting opportunity for a Carpenter to work in an educational setting, sharing knowledge and skills with the next generation to ensure our students are prepared for the world of work and qualified to industry requirements.

 

The School of Construction, at our Luton Campus, is looking for a full time Lecturer who can use their industry knowledge to help our budding Carpenters excel within practical and theory environments.
