The Role

This role involves delivering high-quality teaching and learning in Electrical Installation, supporting students to achieve their qualifications and career goals. Responsibilities include planning and delivering engaging lessons, assessing student progress, providing pastoral support as a personal tutor, developing curriculum content, maintaining strong links with industry, and contributing to quality assurance and continuous improvement. The lecturer is also expected to promote student success, uphold college standards, and work collaboratively with colleagues, employers, and external partners to ensure an excellent learning experience.
