Role description
At the Dolgellau CaMDA site and the Pwllheli Hafan sites, you will lead the delivery of a high-quality, bilingual curriculum in Construction and Engineering that spans all pathways—including full-time provision, part-time provision, apprenticeships, Higher Education and the 14-19 curriculum. Based within our state-of-the-art facilities, you will oversee the operational and curriculum management across specialised sectors. Each discipline benefits from dedicated practical spaces designed to support expert teaching and hands-on learning, reflecting our commitment to excellence.
In this pivotal role, you will inspire and guide a committed team of Lecturers, Assessors, and Technicians to deliver engaging, inclusive and bilingual teaching that supports every learner to reach their full potential. Rooted firmly in our values of equality, honesty, trust, fairness, and ambition, you will nurture a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement, ensuring your team feels supported, challenged and motivated to maintain the highest standards in education and vocational training.
Building on the strong foundation of past achievements, you will lead curriculum planning and development to ensure all programmes remain current, industry-relevant and tailored to the unique needs of each pathway—with a keen eye on financial sustainability to secure long-term success.
Central to your role will be managing key performance indicators such as attendance, retention, and achievement. You will harness data-driven insights to continually enhance the learner experience and foster success. Alongside curriculum leadership, you will oversee essential quality assurance processes—including internal verification, timetabling and assessment planning—working closely with support teams to ensure every learner receives the guidance and assistance they need to thrive.
You will play a vital role in building strong employer and stakeholder partnerships to keep the curriculum aligned with evolving sector demands and to broaden opportunities for learners. Additionally, you will uphold the highest standards of safeguarding and quality, embodying the trust and fairness that underpin our College ethos.
This is a unique opportunity to bring your leadership skills, curriculum expertise and passion for bilingual education to a forward-thinking department, enhanced by outstanding facilities and a clear vision for growth. Your contributions will not only build on the excellent work already underway but will also shape the future success of both staff and learners across all Engineering and Construction pathways.
