We're looking for an enthusiastic and dynamic Public Services Lecturer to join our growing team and deliver high-quality teaching, learning and enrichment across Levels 1-5, with a particular focus on the BTEC Level 3 Public Services programme.
Whether your background is in the emergency services, armed forces or another relevant public service, this is an opportunity to bring your industry experience into the classroom and help learners develop the skills, knowledge and behaviours they need to progress into public service careers.

- Monitor, assess and report on learner progress.
- Develop engaging learning materials and activities that allow learners to apply their knowledge.
- Build relationships with external agencies to enhance curriculum delivery.
- Contribute to curriculum development and the College's quality assurance processes.
- Potentially take on course leadership responsibilities, depending on experience.
