Join our dynamic team as a Lecturer in Pathways, where you'll play a crucial role in shaping the future of our learners on entry level and Level 1 courses.

  • Community Engagement: Collaborate with local partners on meaningful projects that enhance learning and community ties.


  • Continuous Improvement: Drive excellence in teaching, with a focus on improving retention, success rates, and overall student outcomes.

    Passion for Teaching: A strong desire to help others succeed. While a teaching qualification is desirable, your enthusiasm and ability to inspire students matter most, we can support you through your teaching qualification.
