About The Role

Light up the next generation!

As a Lecturer in Domestic Electrics at Canterbury College, you’ll use your real-world experience to spark curiosity, build confidence, and inspire the next wave of skilled electricians.

If you’ve ever thought about swapping the site for the classroom - with your evenings and weekends back, a warm workshop, and the chance to make a real impact - this could be the perfect switch.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Delivering engaging, hands-on lessons that bring theory to life.

  • Training and assessing learners in both practical and classroom settings.

  • Supporting students to reach their full potential and take pride in their craft.

  • Creating a safe, supportive and inclusive learning environment where every learner can thrive.

Whether you’re an experienced lecturer or an electrician ready to take the next step, we’ll support you every step of the way. Through our Teacher Academy, you’ll get tailored training, digital skills support, and ongoing coaching to help you shine in your new role.

So, if you’re passionate about electrics and want to help power up the future of the trade — we’d love to hear from you!

Alongside our priority of excellent student experience, we also focus on our employees. Here are just some of our benefits when working for the East Kent Colleges Group:
 
  • Generous and Consistent Holiday Pattern- aligned with our academic calendar
  • Teacher Training- we support new teachers with a £7000 investment in your training and coaching through our in-house Teaching Academy
  • Flexible Personal Leave- Time off for your child's first day at nursery, school or college, moving homes and for interviews
  • Exclusive Discounts & Perks- Inc. restaurant, grocery, retail and holidays discounts as well as car leasing and tech purchasing schemes
  • Wellbeing and Health Support- Generous sick pay, counselling services, discounted gym membership at Canterbury College, free eye tests and glasses vouchers, flexible support for medical appointments and return-to-work transitions
  • Competitive Pension Scheme- 28% company contribution
  • Culture and Recognition- Being part of Community Days, an Annual Staff Celebration Day, and an eco-friendly organisation dedicated to reaching net-zero by 2030
 

About You

We’re after someone who’s switched on, organised, and full of energy - someone who can bring the world of domestic electrics to life for our learners.

You’ll need to:

  • Be highly organised and efficient, with a knack for keeping things running smoothly.

  • Plan and deliver creative, hands-on lessons that keep learners engaged.

  • Bring up-to-date industry know-how and real-world experience to the classroom.

  • Have great people skills - able to connect, motivate, and inspire.

  • Help every student develop the skills and confidence they need to succeed.

If you’ve taught or trained before - brilliant. If not, don’t worry! We’ll give you full training and ongoing support to help you shine. What matters most is your positive outlook, empathy for learners, and strong classroom presence.

You’ll be teaching a range of study programmes and courses from Level 1 to Level 3, helping learners gain the skills and qualifications to kick-start their own careers in the trade.
