Lecturer

We are currently seeking to recruit an enthusiastic lecturer to deliver high quality teaching and assessment to A level standard in Health & Social Care. The ability to use the Welsh language at a basic level (or willingness to undertake training) is desirable. Applications may be submitted in Welsh and will not be treated less favourably than applications submitted in English.

The College is committed to safeguarding, ensuring the safety and welfare of children and young people. Employment is subject to a satisfactory Enhanced Disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service and registration with the Education Workforce Council (EWC) if appropriate. Please note that successful candidates will be expected to pay for the Enhanced Disclosure and registration with the Education Workforce Council.

Lecturing posts will require a teaching qualification (e.g. PGCE) or the willingness to attain one within a specified period. This will be a requirement under your contract of employment and EWC registration.

Diversity, equality and inclusion: At Coleg Gwent we are committed to providing a working environment which embraces diversity and which promotes equality of opportunity. This is underpinned by the Equality Act 2010 and will be adhered to at each stage of the recruitment process. Our goal is to ensure these commitments are embedded in day-to-day working practices with our learners, colleagues, and partners. We know the most successful teams are diverse teams. Equality, diversity, and inclusion provide the very foundation to our culture. We welcome applications from those who think differently and we are flexible to cater to neurodiverse talent.

Commitment to anti-racism and broader inclusion: We are committed to being an anti-racist organization and increasing diversity in the College by removing barriers and supporting all our staff to reach their potential. To ensure an improved representation in our workforce, applications are particularly welcome from minority groups including Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic people, females, LGBTQ+, non-binary and people with disabilities. Together we continue to build a workplace that not only celebrates the diverse voices of our colleagues but also represents the communities we serve.

We welcome candidates who speak languages other than English and everyone regardless of age, marriage and civil partnership (both same sex and opposite sex), impairment or health condition, sex, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, gender identity or gender expression in line with our Equality Opportunities policy. All campuses are accessible and facilities such as prayer rooms are available.

We are a Disability Confident Employer and affiliates of the Black Leadership Group. Key to supporting this work and providing peer support are 6 Board sponsored Staff Networks (Enabled, Men’s Alliance, Women Together, Cynefin, LGBTQ+ and Race Alliance).

What brings us together: We are committed to building a culture of inclusion that empowers our people to thrive and fosters a sense of belonging. To support the College in being a respectful community we have an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (ED&I) steering group.
