Role Purpose

We are looking for a Health & Social Care Lecturer to deliver engaging, inclusive and career focused teaching across our post 16 and Higher Education provision.

The successful candidate will be confident in teaching learners from a range of backgrounds, able to create a positive learning environment and committed to maintaining high standards in planning, delivery, assessment and student support.

This is a good opportunity for an experienced lecturer, or a Health and Social Care professional with strong sector knowledge who is ready to move into teaching and work towards a teaching qualification.
