About the Role
We have an exciting opportunity within the College’s Aeronautical curriculum for a B1 or B2 Aerospace Lecturer.
You will be working mainly within a small but highly motivated and dedicated team, teaching BTEC Level 3, CAA Part 66 Modules and Foundation Degree subjects to Exeter College students.

The curriculum has most recently been highlighted in an OFSTED Outstanding report.
