English Lecturer

Temporary | Contract

Start date: 24 September 2026

About the Role

We're recruiting an English Lecturer to join a further education provider in the South West. You'll teach and support post-16 learners working towards English qualifications, helping them build the confidence and skills they need to progress into further study or employment.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Planning and delivering engaging English lessons to learners of differing abilities.
  • Assessing learners' work and giving clear, constructive feedback against assessment criteria.
  • Monitoring progress and putting support in place where learners need it.
  • Maintaining accurate records of attendance, achievement and progress.
  • Creating an inclusive learning environment in which every learner is challenged and supported.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • A relevant qualification in English or a closely related discipline
  • Experience of teaching or supporting learners in English
  • The ability to engage and motivate learners of differing abilities

Desirable (but not essential):

  • A recognised teaching qualification, or a willingness to work towards one
  • Previous experience of teaching within further education

If you're ready to help learners achieve an essential qualification, we'd love to hear from you.
