About the Role

As an English Lecturer, you'll plan and deliver English sessions for a further education provider, teaching learners across a range of abilities and supporting them to achieve their qualifications and progress.

  • Good organisation, planning and time management skills
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to motivate and support learners

Desirable (but not essential):

  • A recognised teaching qualification, or a willingness to work towards one
