You’ll teach across full-time, part-time and short courses while helping learners develop the technical knowledge, practical skills and confidence needed for their future careers.

• Support internal verification, auditing and wider quality processes.
• Help maintain a positive, professional and safe learning environment.
• Contribute to student recruitment activities, including careers events and college events.

Some evening and weekend working may occasionally be required to meet business needs.
