What you’ll be doing

You’ll play a central role in delivering high‑quality teaching across Levels 2–5, working with full‑time students, part‑time learners, and apprentices.

• Working collaboratively with the wider “Team Around the Learner” — including the Head of Engineering, fellow lecturers, the Workshop Manager, Instructors, and Technicians — to ensure practical and theoretical learning experiences are well‑coordinated and consistently delivered.
• Providing dedicated tutorial support, both in groups and one‑to‑one, helping learners stay motivated, overcome challenges, and achieve their goals.

What we’re looking for

You’ll bring a strong engineering background, practical workshop expertise, and a genuine commitment to learner success. Whether you’re an experienced lecturer or a skilled industry professional looking to move into teaching, we value enthusiasm, adaptability, and a collaborative mindset.

You’ll be part of a supportive, ambitious team that’s passionate about technical education. We offer excellent professional development opportunities, modern facilities, and the chance to make a meaningful impact on learners at a crucial stage in their careers.
