An exciting opportunity has arisen within our Engineering Department for an experienced, highly motivated Lecturer. Applicants are invited from an Engineering background ideally able to deliver a selection of Engineering subjects such as Electrical and Electronic Principles, Engineering Mathematics, Project and Workshop Skills, including circuit building, testing, fault-finding and practical electronic systems.

The successful applicant will teach across a range of full time, part time and HE programmes to students typically studying at level 2 to level 5 including Engineering specialism T-Levels based on prior industrial/teaching experience.

Applicants should therefore hold

• A relevant level 4/5 HNC/D qualification or be able to demonstrate significant industrial experience as a minimum requirement.

• A Level 2 qualification in maths and English (or equivalent) as a minimum.

• A full teaching qualification at Level 5 or above or be willing to work towards obtaining one. If you do not hold a suitable teaching qualification, the College will support you to obtain this as part of our investment in your professional development.

The key responsibilities of the role include delivering theoretical and practical knowledge and managing and conducting assessments in line with awarding organisation guidelines. Ensuring learner progress is tracked and maintained on College IT systems, and retention and achievement levels are maintained and improved. Knowledge of IV processes are desirable together with the ability to appraise courses using a range of quality and performance indicators.

Previous experience of working in a training environment or of working with young people is desirable but not essential as support is available for exceptional candidates yet to achieve qualified teacher status who are able to demonstrate commitment to developing others. An ability to demonstrate appropriate IT skills will be required including working remotely to provide distance learning and support to cohorts of students as required.

If this position is of interest to you and you share our passion to develop individuals and provide the highest quality learning experiences, we welcome your application.
