English Lecturer

We are seeking to appoint an inspirational and enthusiastic English Lecturer to join our friendly, supportive, and dedicated team. This is an exciting opportunity to teach learners across a range of study programmes, delivering high-quality GCSE and Functional Skills Maths, with ESOL teaching where required.

In this role, you will plan and deliver engaging, learner-centred lessons that develop students' English skills while demonstrating their relevance to the vocational industries our learners aspire to enter. Working closely with curriculum teams, you will create an inclusive learning environment that motivates students, builds confidence, and supports progression.

As a valued member of the team, you will:

• Deliver high-quality teaching, learning, assessment, and feedback that inspires learners to achieve their full potential.
• Plan, prepare, and deliver engaging GCSE and Functional Skills Maths lessons, along with ESOL classes where required.
• Act as a Course or Subject Leader where appropriate.
• Contribute to curriculum planning, course reviews, self-assessment, quality improvement activities, and continuous curriculum development.
• Promote high levels of learner attendance, retention, achievement, and progression.
• Use assessment and progress data effectively to identify learner needs and implement strategies that improve outcomes.
• Work collaboratively with vocational curriculum teams to ensure learners receive the academic support they need to succeed.

Many of our learners are resitting GCSE Maths or studying Functional Skills to improve their future opportunities. We are looking for an engaging and motivational teacher who can inspire confidence, overcome barriers to learning, and help students realise their potential.
