We’re already a successful college, but we’re continually striving to be better and do better – be part of our story!

In the role of Motor Vehicle Lecturer, you’ll be based at our Engineering Centre and your focus will be on delivering high quality lessons to apprentices and/or full-time learners, including school leavers and mature students across light and heavy vehicle technologies.

• You’ll have at least a Level 3 qualification in Motor Vehicle studies or a related subject (or be able to prove equivalent ability) and experience in teaching young people. If you have worked in the motor vehicle industry and have industry experience that can be applied in the classroom, that is highly valued within our department. Knowledge and experience of heavy goods vehicles and/or hybrid/electric vehicles and/or air conditioning would be a significant advantage.

• Excellent communication and engagement skills with young people.
• Demonstrate our college values of Kindness, Unity and Excellence.
• Commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults.

We believe learning is not just for our students – it’s an important part of working here too.
