Ministry of Craft is now recruiting passionate and enthusiastic freelance teachers, to contribute to our popular programme of creative, informal and inspiring short courses, taught in Central Manchester.

We aim to teach craft based skills in a fun yet instructive way, that enables customers to go away and try out the new skills they have learnt at home.

Our tutors are from a variety of different backgrounds and no formal teaching qualifications are necessary, but proven ability in your chosen craft area will be required.

Ministry of Craft courses vary from the traditional through to more creative and unusual types of craft, so please look through the website to familiarise yourself with what we do before applying.

In return for your skills and knowledge we can offer:

• Competitive freelance hourly rates of pay
• Opportunity to promote your own creative work to our customers
• The chance to work as part of a team of local creative craft professionals
• Flexible working hours - mainly evening and/or weekend

If you are interested in developing our customer’s passion for craft and feel that you can offer something original & fun for more information please download the ministry-of-craft-tutor-application-form. We are currently looking for tutors to run courses from January 2011 as the Autumn course programme is now full.
