Who we are

At City College Plymouth you will be joining a college that is proud of its culture, where our core values of Respect, Ownership and Integrity are there to nurture and support a passion for teaching and learning, enriching our community through knowledge, experience and skills enabling every student to be the best they can be.

At City College Plymouth, one of the country's largest providers of quality education and training, we are going through a period of transition to enable us to propel education into the future. We pride ourselves on delivering a learning environment and organisational culture that impact positively on the health, wellbeing and sustainability of our community and enables all our students and staff to achieve their full potential.

The Role

At City College Plymouth, we believe that outstanding Teaching, Learning & Assessment transforms lives. We're looking for inspirational, bold, and innovative Coaches to step into our exciting Teaching, Learning & Development Team.

This is no ordinary education role. You'll be at the heart of an ambitious, forward-thinking college recognised nationally for our pioneering approach to digital learning, including our recent win at the 2025 AoC Beacon Awards, where we were celebrated for our AI-powered education tool.

As a Learning and Development Coach you form an integral part of the development of Teaching, Learning and Assessment for our future. Coaches will help to drive momentum towards an expansive and reflective culture, where all teaching staff will be encouraged and supported to be the best lecturer/trainer/assessor that they can be. The overarching aim is to provide a bold, bright and brilliant learning experience, where all students learn without limits.

Why This Role Stands Out

You'll shape and support the delivery of our strategy for teaching, learning and assessment, putting teaching at the heart of everything we do. Work in a digital-first college, where innovation meets education to streamline teaching and enhance personalised student support. Support the development of teacher training and CPD, championing a culture of continuous learning and bold classroom practice.

What Will You Bring to the Role

Exploring:

You will seek out new ideas, knowledge, and skills, and applying them quickly to support staff development

Driving:

You will focus on immediate and future targets, remaining determined to achieve and being motivated to meet staff goals/aspirations.

Interacting:

You will adapt behaviour to develop effective relationships and closely collaborate with a range of staff.

Organising:

You will structure and organising workload with self-discipline, planning and consideration. Be controlled and thoughtful when arranging activities and scheduling work across sectors.

Benefits

City College Plymouth will offer you;

Holiday: 50 days inclusive of bank holidays and College Closure over Christmas. Career development opportunities. Generous contributions towards your pension. Free tea, coffee and lunch in our dedicated staff lounge.

How we recruit

We aim to recruit based on potential, not experience. We are interested in seeing your behaviours in action and how they will help you become successful at City College Plymouth, giving everyone the opportunity to show their potential, regardless of background or experience.

After completing our online application form, you will be asked to complete an online assessment within a few days of this Vacancy closing. This assessment asks you no questions at all. Instead, it observes your behaviour and natural strengths in action, with a series of engaging, intuitive tasks. You will receive a report outlining your behaviours once you have completed the assessment, regardless of whether you progress to the next stage or not, providing you with some feedback.

The College welcomes applications from service leavers and the Armed Forces community, and supports those service leavers who are Reservists in any of the Armed Forces.

The College reserves the right to close this advertisement early if sufficient applications have been received.
