To succeed, you’ll need to have:
- A proven ability to make accurate judgements about the quality of teaching, learning and assessment
- A degree in a relevant subject/discipline
- Successful experience of teaching a relevant subject at level 3 (preferably A level) and the confidence to step up and take on a wider role
- Some supervisory, curriculum or course management exposure within a College or Post-16 School environment.
