About the Role

An education provider is looking for a Health & Social Care Lecturer to deliver theory and practical sessions to learners working towards recognised qualifications in the sector.

You'll plan and deliver engaging classroom sessions, assess learner progress and help students build the knowledge, professional standards and confidence they need to step into health and social care careers.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Planning and delivering health and social care sessions across a range of levels.
• Bringing sector experience into the classroom to make learning relevant and practical.
• Assessing learner work and tracking progress towards qualifications.
• Adapting teaching to meet the needs of individual learners.
• Supporting curriculum delivery and development.
• Creating a positive, well-structured learning environment that motivates learners to achieve.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

• Level 3 (or higher) qualification in Health & Social Care or a related discipline
• Hands-on experience within the health or social care sector
• Strong subject knowledge
• The ability to engage, motivate and support learners

Desirable (but not essential):

• A recognised teaching qualification such as QTS, QTLS, PGCE, Cert Ed, DET or the Level 3 Award in Education and Training
• Experience of teaching, training or assessing

If you don't yet hold a teaching qualification, that needn't hold you back — support is available for industry professionals moving into teaching.
