(Word, 101.49kb)
As a Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering you will facilitate a positive learning environment to our Gen2 students.
Gen2 was established in 2000 and specialises in the Engineering, Nuclear, and Manufacturing sectors. In May 2017 Gen2 joined City & Guilds. Gen2 currently operates from 5 training centres across Cumbria and over 150 employees, the vast majority of which are direct delivery staff. Through targeted development of commercial training Gen2 continues to grow its geographic and product portfolio. Gen2 has developed many higher level programmes to meet the needs of industry including the suite of nuclear related technology foundation degrees. The quality of teaching and learning is paramount, resulting in Gen2 success rates typically 20% above the national average.
The role of Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering Technology is to encourage all learners to achieve their full potential, through the development, delivery and assessment of relevant resources. The role would be involved in the delivery of subject areas to meet the current and emerging skills demand associated with higher level mechanical engineering qualifications supporting learners throughout their course. To that end, the company is seeking to appoint a high-calibre engineer who wishes to pursue a career in training and education and help develop and enhance the curriculum to enable learners to fulfil their full potential. Lecturers are required to support the Higher Education Delivery Manager in the
delivery of the department curriculum to the quality and standards required.
What you will be doing;
This role is a rewarding position with some excellent career path opportunities for the right individual.
We require the candidate to have relevant and recent experience in industry, research or academic environment as well as a minimum of HND in an engineering discipline, preferably with a mechanical engineering bias. We also require a minimum GCSE grade C or equivalent in English and Maths.
We are looking for someone with the ability to empower our future engineers and encourage development to achieve high standards.
Experience of working with pneumatics and implementation would be a bonus and we would like you to have a PgCert Ed or equivalent or a willingness to attain this.
This is a fantastic opportunity that would suit a strong communicator with sound knowledge of mechanical principles.
We cannot provide visa sponsorship for this role. You must have existing eligibility to work in the UK.
Our vision is for a world in which everyone has the skills and opportunities to succeed. We support almost five million people each year to develop skills that help them into a job, develop on that job and to prepare for their next job. As a charity, we’re proud that everything we do is focused on achieving this purpose.
Through our assessment and credentialing, corporate learning and technical training offers, we partner with our customers to deliver work-based learning programmes that build competency to support better prospects for people, organisations and wider society. We create flexible learning pathways that support lifelong employability, because we believe that people deserve the opportunity to (re)train and (re)learn again and again – gaining new skills at every stage of life, regardless of where they start.
At the heart of our business sits the City & Guilds Foundation which amplifies our purpose by helping to remove barriers to getting into a job, celebrating best practice on the job, and advocating for jobs of the future.
We were founded in 1878 by the City of London and the trade guilds of the time, to help people, organisations and economies to develop their skills for growth.
Our rich experience means we’re uniquely positioned to understand the future of work and learning. And, we continually evolve to develop and deliver skills for the workplace of the future. Today, as well as qualifications and assessment, we offer digital credentialing, e-learning technologies, executive leadership development, technical training and consultancy.
Our success is driven by the people we work with. We pride ourselves on our ability to offer an equal opportunity to all our staff and we value diversity within our inclusive culture. We recognise that a diverse workforce is the only way we will achieve our ambitious business goals, so we work hard to be flexible to accommodate everyone.
We offer the opportunity to work in an innovative, engaging and market-leading organisation with opportunities to develop your existing skills and explore new ones.
You’ll receive an excellent benefits package which typically includes a great base salary, 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, enhanced pension and many other benefits.
Employees health and wellbeing is very important to the Group, and we have a range of tools available to help employees with their mental health and wellbeing and lots more besides. We also provide access to a Group wide Employee Assistance Programme (EAP).
The successful applicant will be required to undertake appropriate checks, including an enhanced DBS disclosure as well as providing proof of the right to work in the UK.
