An exciting opportunity has arisen within the School of Science and Public Services for a part-time lecturer in public services. This role is perfectly suited to someone with experience of uniformed and/or public services.

We are looking for a person who is enthusiastic about making a difference to the lives and careers of our learners.

The team and our learners already benefit from excellent links with local employers, but any opportunity to further these links is always welcomed.

The successful candidate must be confident that they can contribute to and improve our team.

You will have an ability to promote, support and embed English and Maths skills within planning and delivery of all teaching.

This is a part-time maternity cover position working 22 hours per week at our Watford campus. The successful candidate will join our team from August 2026. This is a fixed term position until August 2027.

The closing date for applications is Sunday 10^th May 2026.

You’ll have the full support of a dynamic team and opportunities to bring your ideas to the role. Training and development are at the heart of everything we do so you’ll be actively encouraged to upskill.

We have a free on-site gym at our Watford campus and you can access a wide range of discounts and benefits including a cycle to work scheme, free on-site parking, pension, generous holiday scheme, time off at Christmas and early finishes on a Friday.
