  • Maintaining accurate records and contributing to quality assurance processes.
  • Supporting curriculum development across the English provision.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • A degree or equivalent qualification in English or a closely related subject
  • Strong subject knowledge across English programmes
  • Experience of teaching, training or assessing learners
  • Ability to plan, assess and track learner progress

Desirable (but not essential):

  • A recognised teaching qualification
  • Experience of teaching within further education

If you're ready to help learners achieve in English, we'd love to hear from you.
