The ideal candidate will also possess experience in teaching Cyber Security and Networking. This role requires a deep understanding of both theoretical concepts and practical applications, with the ability to communicate complex topics clearly and effectively. Experience in delivering hands-on, engaging lessons and adapting to diverse learning styles is highly desirable. Familiarity with the latest industry standards and trends will be an advantage. The role offers the opportunity to work in an innovative, collaborative environment focused on developing the next generation of technology professionals. If you are looking for an exciting new challenge in a dynamic and supportive educational environment, then this could be the role for you!
The successful candidate will be primarily based at Accrington and Rossendale College but may be required to travel across sites.
