An exciting opportunity has arisen to join Abingdon & Witney College as a Mechanical / Electrical Engineering Apprenticeship Lecturer/ Assessor. You will be responsible for coaching and assessing learners on their apprenticeship programmes. You should have the relevant qualifications and/ or experience to be able to deliver and assess up to and including level 4 in Engineering. The post will include supporting apprentices on their day release programmes at Abingdon campus, with assessment taking place in the apprentices’ workplace in Oxfordshire and surrounding areas.   

If you are an experienced Mechanical and or Electrical engineer who is looking to get into teaching or assessing, then this post could be perfect for you! You don’t need to be a qualified assessor or teacher – we will support you in achieving the necessary qualifications. We just ask that you are motivated by helping others to learn, and that you really want to make a difference to people’s lives.  

If you are already an experienced lecturer, then we’d like to hear from you too. We know that you will find Abingdon & Witney College different to other colleges. Our philosophy is Be You. Be Extraordinary. We firmly believe that we do enable our students to be themselves and to be extraordinary, whatever that means for them. But we’re confident that we do that for our staff too. If you want to join a college that is wholeheartedly committed to staff and student well-being, where the culture genuinely revolves around putting students first and helping them to achieve extraordinary things, then look no further!  

Successful applicants will be passionate about delivering the very highest quality of teaching, learning and assessment, and be fully committed to supporting their students to achieve at the highest possible level. In return, we will support you to be the very best assessor / teacher you can be, and to develop your career and professional interests in a way that works for you. 

Although a teaching qualification is an advantage, training opportunities exist within the College and we can support you in gaining your Award in Education and Training Level 3 Qualification (AET), within your first year of joining the college. 

This role may be eligible for the ‘Taking Teaching Further (TTF)’ programme, which supports professionals as they move into teaching in the further education sector. Support from the TTF programme can include an initial reduction in teaching workload and enrolment onto teacher training. 

In return, Abingdon & Witney College offer excellent benefits to our employees including generous pension and holiday schemes (with potential Christmas closure days), continued professional development, flexible working options, corporate gym membership, cycle/tech scheme and much more. 

Closing date: 30th October 2023 (midnight) 

Interview date: 8th November 2023 

No candidate will meet every single desired qualification / criteria. If your experience looks a little different from what we’ve identified and you think you can bring value to the role, we’d love to learn more about you! 

AWC values diversity and encourages applications from all sections of the community. We are committed to safeguarding and expect all our employees and volunteers to share this commitment.
