Location: the South West

Are you a criminology specialist who enjoys helping learners make sense of crime, justice and the systems behind them?

About the Role

You'll join a further education provider in the South West to plan, deliver and assess Criminology across its programmes. You'll teach learners of mixed abilities, preparing them for assessment and supporting them to progress into higher education, apprenticeships or employment.

You'll work as part of a supportive teaching team, contributing to curriculum development as well as the day-to-day classroom experience.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Delivering engaging, high-quality teaching and assessment in Criminology.
  • Planning schemes of work, lesson resources and assessments.
  • Tracking learner progress, marking work and providing timely feedback.
  • Developing curriculum content that reflects current practice in the sector.
  • Maintaining accurate records of learner performance and completing associated administration.
  • Contributing to internal quality procedures and programme reviews.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • Strong subject knowledge in Criminology
  • A degree or relevant professional qualification in a related discipline
  • The ability to engage and motivate learners of mixed abilities

Desirable (but not essential):

  • A teaching qualification, or willingness to work towards one
  • Experience of delivering Level 3 programmes in a further education setting
  • Experience of internal verification or moderation

If you're ready to help learners build the knowledge and confidence to take their next step, we'd love to hear from you.
