Overview
Beauty Teacher role at Activate Learning for Guildford College. Our Beauty Therapy courses cover manicures, pedicures, nail art, themed face painting, skincare, waxing, and massage. You will primarily teach and assess students across Levels 1, 2, and 3.

To be successful in this role, you should hold a minimum Level 3 qualification in Beauty Therapy and have relevant, up-to-date industry experience to help students develop practical skills and knowledge required for the beauty therapy profession.
