Teach what you love making.

KitaBina occasionally looks for instructors and workshop staff who love woodworking, and love teaching it just as much.

Craft, patience, and a warm hand.

We are less interested in a certificate than in how you actually work with wood, and how you make a nervous beginner feel capable.

Real craft skill

You can actually build, joinery, finishing, machine work. Learned on the job, self-taught, or formally trained, all count. We care about the work, not the paper.

Patience with beginners

A first-timer's wobbly cut, a kid who is scared of the saw, both need the same thing: someone calm who breaks it down and stays close until it clicks.

Safety-first mindset

You clock a bad habit before it becomes an accident, and you teach the right one without making a beginner feel small for not knowing it yet.

A warm presence

The workshop should feel good to be in. We look for people who are naturally encouraging, easy to ask for help, and genuinely enjoy having others around.

You are never thrown in alone.

Every class runs on a curriculum that already exists, and every instructor works inside a small, supported team.

Low ratios, max 6 to 1

Classes stay small, so teaching is real attention at a bench, not crowd control across a room.

A curriculum already built

Semester programs and one-off classes both run on a guided plan, project steps, safety points, pacing, all worked out ahead of you.

Support close by

New instructors work alongside an experienced one first. You build up to leading a room, you are not handed one on day one.

The kinds of roles we fill.

These are not open postings, they are the kinds of roles that exist in the workshop when we do have a place open.

Assistant Instructor

Works the bench alongside students under a Head Instructor, guiding technique, keeping an eye on safety, and helping each maker get unstuck. The most common way in.

Head Instructor

Leads a program, sets the pace for the room, and holds the standard everyone else teaches to. Grown into from time spent assisting, not an entry point.

Workshop / studio support

A non-teaching role helping run Bina studio's self-access sessions, checking members in, keeping the space and machines in order. Good for someone who loves the shop but isn't set on teaching.
