Expression of Interest: Lecturer & Programme Lead (Housing Industry Specialist)
Are you passionate about the housing sector and interested in exploring a future opportunity with Education Partnership North East (EPNE)? We’re inviting expressions of interest from individuals who would like an informal conversation about a potential role as a Lecturer & Programme Lead: Housing Industry Specialist within our growing Housing Curriculum Team.
Why EPNE?
At EPNE, our purpose is clear: to unlock potential, create opportunities, and transform lives through outstanding education, skills and training.

Following our Outstanding Ofsted rating across all areas, we continue to innovate, evolve, and invest in the people who share our mission.
About The Opportunity
We are looking to connect with professionals who have expertise in the housing sector and an interest in contributing to the design and delivery of Level 4 and Level 5 Chartered Institute of Housing qualifications. As the Competence & Conduct Standard comes into effect in October 2026, this role will play a key part in shaping the future of housing education and supporting the professionalisation of the sector.
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.
