[Hiring] Joinery-Furniture Making Lecturer / Trainer @L'atelier des Chefs

Role Description

As our Lead Furniture Making Trainer within our Learning Business Unit, you won’t just be lecturing from a script. You will be the architect of our UK Furniture Making course and the face of the program.

Your goal? To take complex, manual techniques and translate them into a digital curriculum that is clear, accessible, and highly practical. You will show aspiring professional furniture makers how to take their passion and turn it into a lifelong career.

• Build and adapt the Path (Instructional Design): Structure a comprehensive, step-by-step learning journey. You’ll design the lessons, the practical tasks, and the assessments that prove our learners have got what it takes.
• Step Up to the Camera (Content Production): Write the scripts and get in front of the camera. You'll perform live technical demonstrations, explaining the core mechanics of the craft with absolute clarity.
• Command the Network (Expertise & Partnerships): Act as the ultimate furniture making authority for our pedagogical team. Build and manage a network of external assessors, suppliers, and trade partners to make our curriculum second to none.

Qualifications

• You have at least 7 to 10 years of professional furniture-making experience under your belt, with an absolute mastery of UK market standards.
• You have experience lecturing or instructing, and you know how to break down complex techniques so they are simple to understand.
• You are patient, encouraging, and clear. You know when to support a learner and when to push them to sharpen their technique.
• You want to apply your hard-earned trade skills in a modern, innovative way and are comfortable working with digital tools.
• You are completely fluent in English and possess excellent communication skills.

Requirements

• Freelance contract.
• Full remote work from the UK (at your pace, from your place), with regular, fully-funded trips to our headquarters in Paris.
• Flexible schedule. We’ll establish milestones and deadlines together, and let you run your own schedule.
• Start date: July.

Benefits

• Opportunity to teach something real.
