Employability Supply Lecturer in Folkestone

EKC Training, part of the East Kent Colleges Group, are seeking to appoint Supply Lecturers for Employability programmes to their approved staffing list. Are you able to make a difference within your local community? If you're looking for flexible working throughout the week, where you can support adult students (19+) in a college environment or in one of our dedicated Training Centres for adults, then please read on.

As a group of 6 colleges (Ashford, Broadstairs, Canterbury, Dover, Folkestone, Sheppey) in East Kent, as well as apprentice and adult training units, you can be considered for work in our other environments. This could be a great step towards a career with us as a group. We have a history of our Supply Lecturers being successful in further roles within our group.

As a Supply Lecturer you will:

• teach, train and assess students in your subject specialism(s)
• ensure a high-quality learning experience
• provide support to learners to enable them to achieve their maximum potential

Please note that our Supply Lecturers are paid £18.72 per hour worked and if planning and admin is required, a further half an hour may be claimed per hour of teaching. £140 per day is therefore the rate for 5 hours teaching with 2.5 hours of planning and admin. Any addition to the approved staffing list is not a guarantee of employment or hours of work. Once you have been interviewed and all pre-employment checks are complete, you will then be placed within the supply pool of staff available for temporary work. If we have an opportunity that meets your skill set, we will contact you to discuss the opportunity.

You will be highly organised, creative and be able to plan and teach engaging and innovative lessons with demonstrated interpersonal skills. Assessing and tracking student progress, to further plan intervention, will be a vital part of the role and ensuring all students develop the skills they need to succeed. You will be able to teach a range of designated study programmes and/or courses from Entry Level 3 up to Level 2 and will be able to motivate learners to achieve and succeed on their programmes of study.

We'll consider all applications against the person specification, within the job description for this position. Even if you do not meet all criteria, please apply. No need to spend time updating your CV, just click apply and complete our short application form. You can save your progress as you go, and we’ll review all applications and get back to all candidates after the closing date.
