About You

You will be enthusiastic, confident, with strong interpersonal and time management skills. A teaching qualification (or a willingness to work towards one) and a degree in Computing or a related field are essential. You should be able to deliver engaging modules, with the flexibility to adapt to different levels, qualification types and student needs. Industry experience and knowledge of FE accreditation are highly desirable, but the role is equally suited to a recent or future graduate looking to start a career in teaching.
