Engineering Teacher Derby 32,900 - 51,000 DOE + Teacher's Pension (28% Employer Contribution) + 12 Weeks' Holiday + Career Progression + CPD

Are you an experienced Engineering Teacher or Lecturer who wants to inspire the next generation of engineers while being properly rewarded for your expertise?

Do you take pride in helping young people develop their technical skills, confidence, and career prospects – and want to teach in an environment where industry relevance, innovation, and higher‑than‑average pay are on offer?

On offer is the chance to join a respected, forward‑thinking technical education provider that values both impact and reward. You'll teach motivated 13‑18‑year‑olds in a purpose‑built setting that mirrors real industry environments – with the resources, autonomy, and salary to match your experience and contribution.

This organisation works closely with leading employers and universities to design a curriculum that reflects real‑world engineering. You'll join a collaborative team that shares your passion for developing young talent and takes pride in teaching a subject that changes lives – not just grades.

In this role, you'll deliver engaging lessons across T Level and Level 3 Engineering programmes, tailored to your specialism – whether Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, Automotive, Manufacturing, or Systems & Control. You'll also help shape the future of technical education, contributing your ideas and industry knowledge to an ambitious and growing department.

The ideal candidate will hold a recognised teaching qualification and have experience delivering Engineering above in a school, college, university or UTC. You'll thrive if you're motivated by both purpose and progression – someone who loves teaching but also values the financial stability and recognition this environment offers.

This role would suit a teacher or lecturer who wants to make a genuine difference, earn a salary that reflects their skillset, and work in a setting where technical excellence is celebrated.

The Role:

• Teach Engineering to students aged 13‑18 across T Level and Level 3 pathways
• Deliver within your specialism (Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, Automotive, Manufacturing, or Systems & Control)
• Plan, deliver, and assess engaging lessons that bridge theory and industry practice
• Work closely with employer partners to ensure courses reflect current technologies
• Monday – Friday, based on‑site in Derby

The Person:

• Has a teaching qualification
• Degree or equivalent in an Engineering discipline
• Experience teaching Engineering
• Passionate about developing and mentoring future engineers
• Motivated by both impact and professional reward
