JOB TITLE: Functional Skills Lecturer English
LOCATION: King's Lynn/Wisbech
HOURS: 22.5 per week
SALARY: £19,401 - £24,465 (£31,904 - £40,232 FTE)
You will work as part of our Apprenticeship team to deliver functional skills English to our apprentices. This is an integral part of their apprenticeship but as it is not their main subject, they are often anxious about their abilities. This is a real opportunity to help our learners in developing an understanding, and hopefully love, of English including how to apply principals in relation to their course and every day lives.
Please note that your point on the salary scale will be determined based on both experience and teaching qualifications. Appointments will not normally be made at point 12 or above (£37454 FTE) without a level 5 teaching qualification and experience.
We are a successful, community-focused FE College based in the East of England. We have a thriving Apprenticeships team and in recent years, the department has grown from strength to strength. We offer an incredible training package and a chance to work within tight knit and supportive teams.
BENEFITS
We offer an excellent package including a generous annual leave allowance of 30 days per year for support staff, plus five College closure days, plus Bank Holidays (pro-rata for part-time), fee waivers on some College courses, a contributory pension scheme with the Local Government Pension Scheme, discounts with local businesses and access to a cycle to work scheme. CWA focusses on staff well-being and utilises both internal and external resources, such as a well-being committee and access to a free and confidential Employee Assistance Programme as well as comprehensive training and development.
