Location: Isle of Wight – Newport

Hours: 39 hours per week

Salary: Up to £45,100 based on experience

Describe the role

Do you love leading people and ideas? You’re great at teaching. You care deeply about learners. You’ve probably got a notebook (or Notes app) full of ideas you’ve never quite had the space to try. This role gives you that space. We’re looking for a Teaching & Learning Manager who’s ready to shape curriculum, grow confident teaching teams and help learners move on to brighter futures — whether university, employment or the next big step.

What you’ll actually be doing (day to day)

• Leading and supporting passionate teaching teams
• Designing curriculum that responds to real-world industry needs
• Championing inclusive, high-quality teaching and learning
• Using digital, AI and creative approaches to raise standards
• Ensuring learners feel supported, challenged and proud of their progress

You’ll still teach — but you’ll also influence, innovate and lead.

You’ll love this role if you…

• Get a buzz from developing people, not just managing them
• Care about quality, but hate unnecessary bureaucracy
• Believe education should be responsive, inclusive and ambitious
• Want your voice heard when decisions are made

If you’ve worked in Health & Social Care, Childcare, Education or Access to HE, and you’re ready to step into (or grow within) leadership, we’d love to meet you.
