Employability Skills Lecturer (Part time 0.4)

Shape Futures. Change Lives. Become a Lecturer at NCG

Help adults gain the skills, confidence and opportunities to transform their futures.

At Southwark College, we believe education changes lives. Every year, we support hundreds of adults from diverse backgrounds to develop the skills, confidence and qualifications they need to progress into employment, further study and rewarding careers.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and inspirational Employability Skills Lecturer to join our Adult Skills and Education team. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is passionate about helping adults overcome barriers, build confidence and achieve their career ambitions.

You will teach engaging employability programmes that develop the knowledge, behaviours and practical skills employers value. Working with learners from a wide range of backgrounds, you will create an inclusive and supportive learning environment where every learner can succeed and progress.

The successful candidate will be an excellent classroom practitioner with experience of delivering employability or vocational training to adults. You will have strong knowledge of current recruitment practices, employer expectations and the local labour market, together with the ability to motivate learners and prepare them for sustainable employment.

We work closely with employers across London to ensure our programmes respond to workforce needs. Therefore, experience of developing employer partnerships, arranging employer engagement activities and supporting learners into employment would be highly desirable.
