We’re already a successful college, but we’re continually striving to be better and do better – be part of our story!

In the role of HE Teaching, Learning and Quality Manager you will work across multiple sites and your focus will be on leading quality assurance and enhancement across our HE and Higher Skills programmes.

You’ll also champion digital innovation, inclusive pedagogy, and progression pathways, ensuring our students are well-prepared for their next steps.

Due to the nature of our work, it’s essential you’re committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults.

We believe learning is not just for our students: it’s an important part of working here too. Staff development opportunities include a mentoring scheme, financial contributions for external qualifications and skills development for current and aspiring managers. You’ll also have access to a range of staff benefits including an employee assistance programme, retail and leisure discounts and reduced Metro travel.
