As part of the University of Derby, Buxton & Leek College provides a supportive, vibrant and fun place to study or work.

We are excited to welcome applicants to teach on our highly successful Engineering programmes at our Leek campus. We are looking to recruit a highly motivated lecturer of Engineering who can teach across a range of qualifications, including T Levels in manufacturing, processing and control, PEO, and various apprenticeships within Engineering.

To be successful, you should be qualified to level 5 or above in mechanical and electrical engineering with experience in using 2D Autodesk/AutoCAD and 3D SolidWorks. You should be able to deliver topics such as understanding of engineering material properties, understanding of design and manufacturing processes, linking CAD with CNC machines, pneumatic and hydraulic systems, manual drawing techniques to British standards, and understanding of quality assurance and quality control within Engineering.

Whilst this role will primarily be classroom-based, we also require candidates to have the digital skills to deliver effective lessons using a range of online resources and platforms (for example, Microsoft Teams or Blackboard). Our tutors will need to be adaptable, creative and resourceful in the face of the current challenges in education.

We welcome candidates with a range of experience, including experienced engineering teachers. We are, however, also seeking applications from recent engineering graduates and experienced industry professionals with good communication skills, a passion for computing and a desire to help young people to succeed. A financial contribution towards a Cert Ed/PGCE will be available to the right candidate.
