Are you a Maths teacher looking for a better work-life balance? If so, we have an exciting opportunity for a Lecturer in Maths to join our stable and thriving Maths department. The role will involve working at our Dartford campus delivering up to GCSE at Foundation level to learners as part of their vocational programme.

At North Kent College, we are very proud of our achievements within the Maths and English department, with our students achieving Maths GCSE and Functional Skills above the national average for the FE sector, in addition to very high attendance through our internal actions and continued support from the vocational curriculum areas. We have been included as part of the published DFE good practice of English and Maths at FE.

We would welcome any visits to the campuses, prior to application, please contact hr@northkent.ac.uk to arrange this.

Your hours: 37 hours per week, 52 weeks per annum (1 FTE).

Your pay: £38,049 to £45,445 per annum full time equivalent, dependent on qualifications and experience.

What our English and Maths staff say:

"This is the best teaching role I've had in nearly 20 years. The work-life balance is far better than in secondary education, and the support from colleagues and managers is exceptional."

"Shared teaching resources, supportive colleagues and fantastic students make this a great place to work."

"Moving to FE has given me a much better work-life balance. Shared planning, manageable marking and the freedom to be creative make a real difference."

Why make the move to Further Education?

We have had several teachers move from the primary and secondary phases to the Further Education phase and for any prospective candidates considering this, we have listed some benefits of this transition which you may wish to consider.

• Teaching runs from September to mid-June
• Most learners are aged 16–18
• Working day: 8:45am–5:15pm
• Return in August is the day before GCSE results

The Benefits:

In addition to a competitive salary, you can expect the following as a Lecturer at NKC:

• 42 days’ annual leave, plus bank holidays (pro rata for part-time contracts).
• Enrolment onto the Teachers’ Pension Scheme (TPS), one of the most generous in the country.
• Access to free parking and a number of onsite facilities, including gyms, restaurants, on-site nursery and coffee shops.
