LECTURER - SPORT

Role Description

Newcastle College is seeking a dedicated, enthusiastic, and qualified professional to take on the role of Lecturer in Sport. The successful candidate will be responsible for delivering and assessing high-quality programmes within our further education sports provision, all tailored to meet the needs of sport students.

The role also includes programme administrative responsibilities to ensure effective course management. A key focus will be supporting learners in developing employability skills relevant to the industry, promoting independence, and preparing them for progression into higher education, apprenticeships, or employment.

The ideal candidate will have a strong vocational background within the sport and active leisure industry, with proven experience in developing learners' technical and employability skills. The role will be heavily focused on our Sports Coaching and Development pathway. They will hold an honours degree (Level 6) or an industry-recognised qualification in Sports Coaching or a related field, alongside a post-16 teaching qualification or a commitment to achieving this within an agreed timeframe. Level 2 English and maths qualifications are essential, or the candidate must be willing to attain them. A proven track record of delivering and assessing vocational training programmes, with an emphasis on progression and learner success, is also required.

You will be responsible for planning and delivering tailored tutorial sessions that meet the diverse needs of students, both individually and in groups, across various subject areas. Your lessons will be engaging, accessible, and aligned with academic standards. You will assess each student's abilities and learning styles to provide personalised support, while also offering more challenging material to advanced students.

In addition to delivering lessons, you will track and monitor students' progress, providing constructive feedback and adjusting teaching strategies to help them improve. Motivating students and fostering a positive, inclusive learning environment will be key to building their confidence and keeping them engaged. Collaboration with parents, guardians, and educational staff will be essential to ensure student success, with regular communication and recommendations for improvement.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a well-motivated, cohesive, and successful team. The SLPPS department at Newcastle College is a supportive and collaborative environment where colleagues work effectively together to ensure students achieve their full potential and stakeholders receive maximum value from the curriculum.
