‘Would you like to be part of a team that aims to create the extraordinary?’

Our Organisation
Nelson and Colne College Group is made up of a family of colleges – Nelson & Colne College, Lancashire Adult Learning and Accrington & Rossendale College. Together the Group forms a Sixth Form, Skills and Technology Centre, University Centre, employer training and adult learning provider delivering exceptional teaching and learning to all ages and at all levels.

The Exciting Role
Due to growth in this area, a number of new opportunities have become available for highly motivated and dedicated Engineering Lecturers to join our dynamic Engineering team on a full-time (35 hours per week), permanent basis. Applications on a part-time basis will be considered for the right candidate, as will flexible roles for those who may wish to undertake some teaching whilst maintaining a part-time role in industry.

We are ideally looking for candidates with experience in one (or more) of the following areas:

• Aerospace (maths, science and fluid mechanics)
• Design/CAD (2D and 3D CAD, design and project management)
• Knowledge of workshop processing and manufacturing techniques

However, please do get in touch if you have other skills, knowledge and experience as we would be keen to explore how this might fit within our team of industry specialists.

For a candidate wishing to make the move from industry to teaching, a trainee teacher package (with support for completing their teaching qualification) could be explored.

The successful candidate(s) will be primarily based at Nelson & Colne College but may be required to travel across sites.

What You Will Be Doing:

• Teaching on a range of programmes, delivering effective learning for students in the Engineering department
• Planning and preparing high quality teaching and learning
• Developing and sharing resources for the course/subject
• Completing required assessments in relation to student assignments

What We Are Looking For:

• Degree level qualification or appropriate professional qualification (or equivalent level of experience)
• Recognised teaching qualification or a willingness to undertake this
• Strong industry experience would be an advantage and could be considered in place of a degree level qualification for the right candidate.
• Successful teaching experience (ideally on Pearson BTEC) with a background in delivery of Level 3 RQF subjects would be advantageous.

What We Offer in Return:

• Competitive pay, often exceeding the sector average.
• Occupational pension scheme (Teachers’ Pension Scheme), with generous employer contributions
• Generous package of annual leave (56 days including Bank Holidays and closure days)
• Access to a range of additional benefits and incentives
• An extensive professional development programme aimed at supporting all our staff to realise their potential
• Access to a range of health and wellbeing benefits and support
