Trafford College Group: 

A Great Place to Work. 

The Trafford College Group has recently entered the next exciting phase of its journey through the merger with Cheadle and Marple 6th Form College. The merger will provide the Group with a unique opportunity to further shape and direct 16-19 and adult education across the borough of Stockport.

Staff at Trafford College Group go above and beyond to ensure that our students get the best possible teaching and support to enable them to reach their ambitions. We expect the very highest standards for all of our students and this is evidenced year after year by our achievement and progression outcomes. 

The Job: 

You will deliver outstanding courses using a diverse range of teaching and learning strategies including remote learning across modules on our Level 2 and Level 3 courses and HE if you have the qualifications and experience for this. You will provide learners with an exceptional educational experience enabling them to maximise their potential.  

Working as a Lecturer is a demanding but extremely rewarding role and whilst teaching experience would be an advantage what is more important is your enthusiasm to motivate and inspire our learners, to achieve and fulfil their career aspirations within the IT industry. 

We are looking for experts in Computing with a degree in a relevant subject.  You must have numeracy and literacy skills at level 2 and if you do not already have a teaching qualification, you will be required to achieve a level 5 teaching qualification and be supported in becoming a highly competent Lecturer within 2 years.
