Due to increasing student numbers and investment into our inclusive learning provision, we are recruiting additional Lecturers to join our team at Downham Market to support Bridge to Engagement learners. The Bridge to Engagement programme enables learners who may not be comfortable at a larger campus to access further education in a small, bespoke campus. Our group sizes are small, allowing us to offer a highly supported environment that helps learners develop and progress to further study or employment.
Our curriculum team is integral in providing learners with the tools, knowledge and confidence they need to succeed. We are proud of the success of these programmes. Our Bridge to Engagement provision programmes are designed to support young people with Social Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) issues. We are looking for innovative and passionate teachers who are confident in managing challenging behaviour.
We have a small and dedicated team at our Downham Market site with smaller class sizes and extended support. This is a rewarding role for teachers who wish to make a difference to young people’s outcomes, both within and after education. We pride ourselves on the work‑life balance of our team and actively support job share and flexible working opportunities.
Salary will be determined based on experience and teaching qualifications. Appointments will not normally be made at point 12 or above (£37,454 FTE) without a Level 5 teaching qualification.
Benefits:- Generous annual leave allowance: 37 days per year for curriculum staff
- Five College closure days
- Bank Holidays (pro-rata for part‑time)
