About the College
We are a well‑established further education college in North Yorkshire, committed to high-quality education, supportive learning environments, and preparing students for successful careers in engineering and beyond. We value innovation, continuous professional development, and a collaborative culture among staff and students alike.

Role Overview 
We are seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering to deliver mathematics and science modules to Level 2 engineering students. As part of our academic team, you will help students build strong foundational knowledge in engineering mathematics and mechanics — preparing them for further study or direct entry into industry.

Key Responsibilities:

• Teach maths and science modules relevant to mechanical engineering (e.g. differentiation, calculus, trigonometry, thermodynamics, forces of motion) to Level 2 students in a classroom‑based setting.
• Plan and deliver engaging lessons and practical learning sessions.
• Prepare lesson plans and produce micro‑teaching material as part of the assessment process.
• Monitor and assess student progress, offering support and guidance as needed.
• Maintain accurate records and contribute to course documentation and reporting.
• Collaborate with other teaching staff to ensure consistency and quality across the engineering programme.
• Encourage and support positive student behaviour, attainment, and retention.

Person Specification / What We Are Looking For

• A strong background in mechanical engineering (academic qualification and/or industry experience).
• Competent in teaching key mathematical concepts relevant to engineering: differentiation, calculus, trigonometry, thermodynamics, mechanics, and forces of motion.
• Able to design and deliver clear lesson plans, differentiate teaching appropriately, and adapt delivery to student needs.
• Comfortable working exclusively in a classroom-based environment (no workshop teaching required).
• Proactive, student-centred, and confident in managing and motivating learners.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a passion for supporting further‑education students.

Why Join Us

• Competitive salary — with scope up to £42,172, or higher via a market supplement for exceptional candidates.
• Work in a supportive, student-focused environment committed to quality teaching and learning.
• Opportunities for professional development and career progression within the college.
• Be part of a collaborative team shaping the next generation of engineers.
