Job description

As our Lecturer you will support 16-19-year-old students needing to improve their English GCSE grade. For many, it's a second or third attempt, and confidence can be low. We're looking for a skilled, patient, and encouraging Lecturer to help them turn that around. You'll deliver English in small groups/ one-to-one sessions, working closely with the other English Lecturers to help students' close skills gaps and improve their exam technique. You'll also help rebuild belief in their own ability, which is often just as important as the content itself. All planning, resources, and tracking documents will be provided.

• Work collaboratively with other lecturers and managers to design a scheme of work which stretches and challenges learners while underpinning recall techniques to provide the best possible outcomes for all learners.

• Teachers' Pension Scheme, with the Group contributing 28.68% of your actual pensionable pay.
• 40 days annual leave entitlement, plus bank holidays and college closure days over the Christmas period which are not deducted from annual leave entitlement.
• Access to a range of discount schemes including shopping, restaurants, gym, travel, cinema and onsite facilities.
• Employee Assistance Programme.
• Enhanced family friendly policies including enhanced maternity, paternity and adoption leave.
• Continuous professional development opportunities.
• Looking to get into teaching? We are always looking for people from industry to share their knowledge and expertise.
