About the role

Are you passionate about sport and education, with the drive to inspire the next generation of sport professionals? We're looking for a versatile and committed Lecturer in Sport to join our dynamic team at Myerscough College.

This is a broad teaching role, not limited to any single discipline. You'll deliver a range of modules across our Further Education Sport programmes, which may include areas such as fitness training, coaching, sports development, performance analysis, and anatomy & physiology. Your ability to engage learners and bring real‑world relevance to the classroom will be key.

You'll play an active role in:

• Creating inclusive and engaging learning environments.
• Supporting students through tutorials and personal development.
• Contributing to curriculum innovation and enrichment.
• Building links with industry to enhance employability outcomes.

We're looking for someone who can bring fresh ideas, energy, and a learner‑centred approach. This is a strategic appointment, and we're committed to finding the right candidate who will help us continue to deliver outstanding sport education.

Should a successful candidate be found prior to the closing date we have the right to remove this advert.

We take care of our team just as we do our students. As an employee, you can enjoy a range of benefits, including:

• A generous holiday allowance of 42 days, plus bank holidays.
• Regular Continuous Professional Development (CPD) opportunities.
• Hassle free parking at our Preston campus.
• Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) to provide wellbeing support in moments of need.
• Membership of the Teacher's Pension Scheme.

We are flexible working friendly and happy to discuss interest in flexible working.

Please note that as part of our commitment to safeguarding our students, our background screening checks include limited online searches. Online searches will only be undertaken in respect of the successful candidate, as a pre‑conditional term of our job offer.

Safeguarding our students is of paramount importance. Our recruitment process has been designed to keep students safe and to ensure that we appoint safe and suitable people.

All successful applicants will be required to undertake pre‑employment background and safeguarding checks.

The successful applicant will be responsible for complying with all safeguarding policies and practices, and for ensuring student safety and wellbeing is at the forefront of everything they do.
