Shipley College is a small college situated in the World Heritage Site of Saltaire, in the District of Bradford. The College offers education and training provision on campus, in community venues and on employer premises. The local population is culturally and ethnically diverse and this is reflected in the student cohort. Our students include school leavers on full-time courses, traineeships, apprenticeships or supported internships and adults gaining skills for professional and/or personal development. In addition, we provide work placements for undergraduates in both Marketing and IT and voluntary teaching placements for students on the PGCE programme. The College was rated by Ofsted as ‘Good’ in March 2013 and again in November 2017.

We are seeking to appoint a well-qualified and enthusiastic Lecturer of Leadership & Management with strong interpersonal skills to join our dedicated team of Lecturers within the Business Sector.  The start of the Apprenticeship Levy promises a fundamental change in Leadership and Management training across all sectors.  We want someone who can contribute to teaching such courses for entry level Team Leaders right up to Level 7 Strategic Managers.  This post will support a range of employers to improve their economic performance by enhancing their leadership skills - including both private and public sector workers.  To date we have used the ILM suite of qualifications but are looking for the person with the right attitude rather than any particular curriculum experience.  

Given the variations in demand, it would be an advantage if you could contribute to other training programmes such as for Customer Service and Business Administration.  However first and foremost we are looking for a person who can support leadership from the boardroom to the shop floor.

The post is full time, with an immediate start possible.   

Shipley College believe strongly in the development of its workforce therefore we welcome applications from individuals who already possess a relevant teaching qualification as well as those willing to work towards achieving one*.  You should be appropriately qualified in your specialist subject area (usually to degree level).
