You’ll contribute to curriculum development, quality improvement and employer engagement, ensuring programmes reflect current skills needs and opportunities across Further Education. You’ll also work closely with tutors, support teams and internal and external stakeholders to ensure learners receive an outstanding experience.

If you’re looking for a rewarding part‑time role where you can share your subject expertise, support the next generation and still enjoy a healthy work‑life balance, we’d love to hear from you.

• A Biology expert with industry experience and a strong knowledge of the subject, ideally with experience teaching A Level Biology.
• A passionate and inspiring teacher who can engage learners, support their progress and drive high levels of achievement.
• A relevant Biology degree (BSc or above), with a teaching qualification or willingness to work towards one, alongside a commitment to ongoing professional development.
• A collaborative team player who is organised, reliable and confident working with colleagues across different curriculum areas.
• A digitally confident educator who can use classroom‑based technology to enhance teaching, learning and the learner experience.
• Someone who cares about learners and their future, committed to inclusive education, enthusiastic about Biology and willing to share their expertise across Science and Biology provision where needed.

What we offer:

• Annual Salary: £16,182 - £18,461
• Part‑time position, 15 hours per week, all year round.
• 35 days holiday FTE (plus Christmas closure & bank holidays)
• Generous pension scheme of 28.68 % employer contributions
• Staff discount scheme with high street and online retailers
• Opportunities for professional development and career growth
• Employee assistance programme
• Free onsite gym
