Health & Social Care Lecturer

Temporary | Contract

Location: the South West

Start date: October 2026

Are you an experienced health or social care professional looking to pass your knowledge on to the next generation of practitioners?

About the Role

You'll join a further education provider in the South West, teaching health and social care to learners working towards industry-recognised qualifications.

You'll plan and deliver engaging sessions, assess learner progress and prepare students for employment, apprenticeships and further study in the health and social care sector.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Teaching health and social care programmes across a range of levels.
• Planning and delivering classroom-based sessions and practical learning activities.
• Developing learning resources and assessing learner progress against sector standards.
• Supporting learners to overcome individual barriers to learning.
• Preparing learners for employment, apprenticeships and further study.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

• A Level 3 qualification (or higher) in health and social care or a related discipline
• Occupational experience within the health or social care sector
• The ability to engage and motivate learners of differing abilities

Desirable (but not essential):

• A recognised teaching qualification
• Previous experience of teaching, training or assessing

If you don't yet hold a teaching qualification, that needn't stop you applying — industry professionals moving into teaching are welcomed and supported.
