Job description

We’re looking for an experienced, passionate Engineering Tutor & Assessor to join our Apprenticeship Team and play a pivotal role in:

• Co‑designing and building our new Engineering Apprenticeship programme
• Developing an engaging, industry‑aligned curriculum that reflects local skills needs
• Delivering high‑quality teaching, assessment and support to apprentices
• Embedding innovation, sustainability and real‑world practice into every stage of learning
• Working closely with industry partners to ensure our apprentices gain the skills employers truly value

This is more than a teaching role, it's a chance to create a programme that inspires curiosity, builds confidence and equips the next generation of engineers with the technical and professional skills they need to thrive.

Why This Role Matters

You’ll be shaping the design of a brand‑new programme for the very first cohort of apprentices. Your expertise, creativity and vision will influence everything from workshop layout and resourcing, curriculum sequencing, memorable learning activities to assessment strategies. If you’ve ever wanted the freedom to design a programme the right way, this is your moment.

You’ll Thrive in this Role If You

• Have strong engineering industry experience, ideally in aerospace
• Have a degree in engineering or relevant industry recognised qualifications
• Are confident teaching and assessing apprentices
• Enjoy designing curriculum and building new programmes
• Are excited by innovation, hands‑on learning and shaping future talent
• Want to be part of a growing, ambitious engineering department

North Hertfordshire College is embarking on an exciting new chapter and you could be at the heart of it. We’re launching a brand‑new Engineering Apprenticeship provision in Stevenage, starting with the Level 2 Engineering Operative Standard. This is a rare opportunity to shape something from the ground up and make a lasting impact on the future of engineering talent in our region.

The College operates across three main campuses in Stevenage and Hitchin, employing over 650 staff. With a turnover of £30m, the college provides learning opportunities to over 10 000 students each year from study programmes for 16‑18 year olds and apprenticeships through to adult provision locally, regionally and nationally. We were judged Good by Ofsted at our last inspection in December 2023, with outstanding features.

We believe great people deserve great support. At North Hertfordshire College, you’ll enjoy:

• Birthday Leave – A paid day off to celebrate you
• Christmas Closure – Time to rest and recharge over the festive break
• Flexible Annual Leave – No restrictions based on the school calendar
• Professional Development – As part of an established FE college group, you’ll have access to structured training, long‑term stability and genuine career progression
