Role Description
Newcastle College is seeking a dedicated, enthusiastic, and qualified professional to take on the role of Lecturer in Sport and Uniformed Public Services
The successful candidate will be responsible for delivering and assessing high-quality programmes within our further education sports provision, all tailored to meet the needs of sport and uniformed public services students.
The role also includes programme administrative responsibilities to ensure effective course management. A key focus will be supporting learners in developing employability skills relevant to the industry, promoting independence, and preparing them for progression into higher education, apprenticeships, or employment.
The ideal candidate will have a strong vocational background within either the sport and active leisure industry or uniformed public services, with proven experience in developing learners' technical and employability skills. The role will be heavily focused on our level 2 sport and uniformed public services pathways. They will hold an honours degree (Level 6) or an industry-recognised qualification in a related field, alongside a post-16 teaching qualification or a commitment to achieving this within an agreed timeframe. Level 2 English and maths qualifications are essential, or the candidate must be willing to attain them. A proven track record of delivering and assessing vocational training programmes, with an emphasis on progression and learner success, is also required.
Experience in programme leadership within further education, higher education, or apprenticeships is desirable, as is familiarity with current industry practices. Candidates should also have proven success in designing and implementing teaching strategies that support further education students, including those with additional needs or barriers to learning. Strong organisational skills, the ability to self-manage workload, and excellent oral and written communication skills are essential, along with proficiency in IT, including the use of virtual learning environments. Flexibility to work evenings and weekends to meet curriculum demands is also required.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a well-motivated, cohesive, and successful team. The SLPPS department at Newcastle College is a supportive and collaborative environment where colleagues work effectively together to ensure students achieve their full potential and stakeholders receive maximum value from the curriculum.
