Lecturer - Engineering

Your Expertise, Their Future, Our Community – Let’s Engineer Success Together!

Tired of the tools, but not the trade?

Are you ready to use your engineering know-how to inspire the next generation?

As a Lecturer of Engineering at EKC Canterbury College, you’ll bring your industry experience into the classroom - teaching, training, and assessing learners across a range of practical and theoretical topics. You’ll play a key role in helping students reach their full potential and shaping the future of the trade.

What you’ll be doing:

• Delivering engaging lessons and hands-on demonstrations that bring engineering to life.

• Supporting learners to achieve their goals and preparing them for real-world success.

• Leading on study programmes and contributing to the design, delivery, and evaluation of courses.

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

We know that great engineers don’t always start out as teachers - and that’s where our Teacher Academy comes in. You’ll receive full training, ongoing coaching, and digital skills support to help you build confidence and grow into your new role.

Flexible working requests are welcome, and we’ll support you to find the right balance between your career and personal life.

So, if you’re passionate about engineering and ready to make a real impact in your community - apply today and help us power the next generation of problem-solvers!

Fancy using your engineering skills to inspire the next generation?

We’re looking for someone who’s hands-on, organised, and full of ideas to help our learners build their skills and confidence for the workplace.

• Delivering engaging, practical lessons that bring engineering to life.

• Supporting learners as they get to grips with real-world skills.

• Tracking progress and stepping in with extra help when it’s needed.

• Helping students prepare for their next step - whether that’s an apprenticeship, job or further study.

What we’re looking for:

• Someone positive, approachable, and great with people.

• Experience teaching or training others would be a bonus - but it’s not essential. If you’ve trained apprentices or shown others the ropes on the job, we’ll give you all the support and teacher training you need to get started.

Please note that there are two salary scale points for our Lecturer positions. All candidates will start at the introductory salary scale point unless certain criteria are met. Lecturers will normally move up to the highest salary scale once one full academic year of teaching for our group is complete. (Lecturers must be in post by 1st September in any given year to qualify and this is subject to approval). Therefore, internal applicants in the same role may qualify for the higher salary scale, although should seek clarification
