About the Role
We’re looking for enthusiastic and supportive professionals to join our team as Group Lead – Lecturers to lead and teach on our Level 2–4 Fashion Retail courses.
As a Group Lead – Lecturer you will be responsible for delivering high‑quality teaching, assessment, and feedback, ensuring students are both academically challenged and fully prepared for the fashion industry. Your work will support student progression, drive engagement, and help learners build the confidence and skills needed to succeed.
As a subject specialist, you will contribute to module delivery, model excellent teaching practice, and play an active role in a collaborative culture focused on continuous improvement. We are looking for a multi‑disciplinary professional with strong industry knowledge and a passion for education.
The ideal candidate will be a confident and engaging communicator with excellent presentation skills, and a genuine enthusiasm for teaching, mentoring, and inspiring others.

About you:
