Part-Time Hourly Paid Lecturer in Community Learning

At Kirklees College we are always looking for new talent, and welcome applications from all sectors.

Whether in a teaching & learning role or in one of our specialised Business Support functions, you’ll be involved in nurturing and developing the next generation of construction workers, engineers, health workers and countless others.

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 Community Learning Lecturer, you’ll work from our main centres in Dewsbury and Huddersfield but will also work in a variety of settings across Kirklees such as community centres, libraries, schools and more. You will be required to plan and deliver core subjects to adults, which could include IT, English and Maths, ESOL, Employability and Family Learning. You need to be enthusiastic and inspirational and able to help our adult students meet their potential by creating a positive and engaging learning environment.

You will be responsible for monitoring and supporting students and ensuring that quality improvement strategies are implemented and complied with, along with ensuring the courses meet the needs of all of our stakeholders.

If you are passionate about your subject area and can engage and inspire adults by bringing learning to life with enthusiasm, then we would love to hear from you.

You’ll ideally have a L5 teaching qualification, experience teaching ESOL and demonstrable experience teaching adults. It’s important that you’re able to lead and inspire others, communicate effectively, use innovation within course delivery and engage with young people and adults. You will be expected to demonstrate our College values of Kindness, Unity and Excellence in your role.

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.

We want people who believe in the value of education, and who can contribute to our culture of supporting and challenging one another.
