Are you ready to shape the future of construction education?
Leeds College of Building, the UK’s only specialist further education construction college, is renowned for delivering top-quality education in Construction and the Built Environment. With its welcoming and friendly atmosphere that inspires staff, students, and visitors alike, our college is an exciting and rewarding place to work.
Join Our Expanding Sustainable Building Services Faculty
Our faculty is at the forefront of construction education especially in Building Services. We provide a diverse range of further education courses and apprenticeships. These include Entry Level Qualifications, Diplomas, Apprenticeship Standards, and Adult Courses. We’re seeking a passionate and innovative leader to help drive our continued growth and success.
Your Role: Make a Difference:
As Curriculum Manager, you’ll work closely with the Head of Sustainable Building Services to:
- Drive effective curriculum management and achieve high standards in student learning and outcomes.
- Manage specific curriculum areas, student groups, and staff, ensuring excellence in education delivery.
- Take an active role in innovation, introducing and leading new developments to advance our curriculum and teaching practices.
About This Role
While Curriculum Managers may be required to oversee various curriculum areas as organisational needs evolve, this role is currently responsible for the leadership and management of Gas Apprenticeships, Green Skills provision, Welding, Rail programmes, commercial short courses for gas and Electrical, and the new upskilling Apprenticeship Units. Key responsibilities include ensuring high-quality apprenticeship delivery, supporting learner progress and achievement, developing employer partnerships, and driving growth in upskilling and workforce development programmes. The role will also provide leadership for staff within these curriculum areas, ensuring learners are fully prepared for assessment, progression, and successful career outcomes.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
