Write your next chapter - join us as a English Lecturer
As a Lecturer of Functional Skills and GCSE English at EKC Sheppey College you will teach, train and assess students in a variety of learning environments, ensuring a high-quality learning experience.
In this role you'll be starting with a strong opening line, engaging learners and setting the tone for success. Through the first chapter of this role, you'll refine your craft in our outstanding Ashford College. And whist every narrative has structure, we aim to develop all staff so this isn't the end of your story.
Your role will also include providing support to learners to enable them to achieve their maximum potential and to lead as appropriate on designated study programmes and/or courses, with a key responsibility for ensuring the design, delivery and evaluation of programme.
We pride ourselves in the support we can give those who are new to teaching, with ongoing training and coaching through our Teacher Academy which includes digital skills support. So, if you do not have any teaching experience or teacher qualifications but have a passion for sharing your knowledge and would like to be considered for this teaching role please apply.
Alongside our priority of excellent student experience, we also focus on our employees. Here are just some of our benefits when working for the East Kent Colleges Group:
You’ll be a highly organised and creative educator, with the ability to plan and deliver engaging, innovative lessons that inspire learners. You’ll have strong interpersonal skills, a positive and empathetic approach, and the confidence to manage a classroom effectively. Tracking student progress and using this to plan targeted support and interventions will be a key part of your role.
Ideally, you’ll have experience teaching or delivering training in the workplace, although this isn’t essential as full training will be provided. You’ll be able to teach across Level 1 and Level 2 GCSE and Functional Skills programmes and motivate learners to achieve and succeed in their studies.

(Lecturers must be in post by 1st September in any given year to qualify and this is subject to approval). Therefore, internal applicants in the same role may qualify for the higher salary scale, although should seek clarification
