We are one of the highest-performing colleges nationally, rated Ofsted 'Outstanding' for apprenticeships. Working closely with the Cornwall Manufacturing Group, we help develop the future workforce and upskill existing employees. Exciting opportunities exist to work with emerging engineering sectors in Cornwall, including Offshore Wind Technology, Lithium Extraction, and the Food & Drink industry. Our Engineering department is based in the state-of-the-art STEM & Health Skills Centre in Bodmin, featuring a large open workshop, welding facility, CAD studio, Electronics room, Mechatronics lab, and general teaching rooms.

The Ottery campus is closed on Mondays, so working from home will be the option on that day.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and committed lecturer with the ability to inspire students and maintain excellent working relationships within a successful team. A willingness to support students pastorally and adapt to a dynamic environment is essential.

• Food & Drink maintenance industry experience desirable.
• Level 3 apprenticeship in maintenance operations (or equivalent).
• Teaching qualification (or willingness to work towards one).

Fractional contract options are available, allowing you to combine lecturing with industry work.

Benefits include 40 days annual leave plus bank holidays and College closure days, Teachers' Pension Scheme, relocation package, free on-site parking, staff discounts, and a comprehensive wellbeing programme. Curriculum Vitae are not accepted – application forms only.

Non-qualified applicants will be considered but will be paid on a non-qualified lecturer scale.

We may interview as and when we receive suitable applications so this role may close sooner than advertised. Successful candidates will be notified within 4 weeks of the closing date.

We reserve the right to bring forward the closing date of the adverts should we receive a sufficient level of interest!
