Carpenter - DT Technician Role in Secondary Schools
Location: Northampton
Start Date: September 2025 | Full-Time | Term-Time Only | Long-Term Opportunities
Are you a qualified or experienced carpenter looking for a new challenge outside of the trade? Would you like to use your practical skills to support the next generation of makers and designers?
Secondary schools across Northampton are seeking Carpenters to join their Design & Technology (DT) departments as Technicians from September 2025. This is a fantastic opportunity to step into education and bring real-world experience into the classroom-supporting students in a safe, creative, and hands-on learning environment.
About the Role:
Support DT lessons (woodwork, resistant materials, and construction skills) by preparing materials, maintaining tools, and setting up equipment
Use your carpentry knowledge to demonstrate correct techniques and workshop safety
Maintain and repair machinery (e.g. band saws, drills, disc sanders) and carry out routine safety checks
Ensure the workshop is clean, well-organised, and fully stocked with materials
Assist teachers and students during practical tasks, helping students gain confidence with tools and projects
Promote a strong culture of health and safety, including compliance with risk assessments and safety procedures
Engage in school projects, displays, and learning opportunities linked to construction, sustainability, and design
We're Looking For:
Background in carpentry, joinery, or construction with hands-on workshop experience
Knowledge of tools, timber, and woodcraft techniques
A practical, proactive approach and good attention to detail
Confidence in handling machinery safely (training can be provided)
Willingness to support young people and share trade skills in a classroom environment
Strong communication and teamworking skills
DBS clearance (or willingness to obtain one) and understanding of safeguarding procedures
What's on Offer:
Full time, permanent positions
A supportive school environment where your skills are valued
Opportunities for training and professional development in education and safeguarding
The chance to make a direct impact on student learning and inspire future careers in construction, design, and engineering
A rewarding role for someone ready to step away from the site and into the classroom
If you're a skilled carpenter with a passion for craftsmanship and a desire to support young learners, apply now to become a DT Technician in a Northampton secondary school this September.
