As an English Lecturer, this role will be initially covering maternity until July 2027, with further opportunities to develop and grow.
In this role you'll be starting with a strong opening line, engaging learners and setting the tone for success. Through the first chapter of this role, you'll refine your craft in our outstanding Folkestone College. And whist every narrative has structure, we aim to develop all staff so this fixed-term isn't the end of your story.
Day to day you will teach, train and assess students in a variety of learning environments, ensuring a high-quality learning experience. Your role will also include providing support to learners to enable them to achieve their maximum potential and to lead as appropriate on designated study programmes and courses, with a key responsibility for ensuring the design, delivery and evaluation of programme.
We pride ourselves in the support we can give those who are new to teaching, with ongoing training and coaching through our Teacher Academy which includes digital skills support.

About You
You’ll be a highly organised and creative educator, with the ability to plan and deliver engaging, innovative lessons that inspire learners. You’ll have strong interpersonal skills, a positive and empathetic approach, and the confidence to manage a classroom effectively. Tracking student progress and using this to plan targeted support and interventions will be a key part of your role.
It will be an advantage to have experience teaching or delivering training in the workplace, but if you don't have a teaching qualification, we will support you with this.
You’ll be able to teach across Functional Skills Entry Levels to Level 2 and motivate learners to achieve and succeed in their studies.
