Lecturer – Fabrication & Welding

£35,170 - £43,357

1 FTE / 35 hours (multiple posts)

Based at Falkirk Campus

Permanent

Due to an increase in demand for Fabricators and Welders, the Department of STEM and Construction is seeking experienced candidates as Lecturers to teach Fabrication/Welding Engineering for learners across SCQF levels 5 to 7 in a practical and experiential setting.

The role is a mixture of workshop and classroom delivery. Candidates with significant industrial experience in relevant engineering field/area will be considered. This will include candidates without previous teaching experience.

You will produce high quality learning, teaching and assessment materials, and deliver excellent teaching relative to the specialist areas of Fabrication/welding.

Ideally, candidates will hold a relevant Higher National qualification or professional equivalent.

Teaching experience is desirable but not essential; the successful candidate should be prepared to work toward a professional teaching qualification, and Assessor and Verifier qualifications.

Initially, the main role would be delivery of practical, experiential learning within the engineering workshops. However, there will be elements of in-class delivery as part of this role.

Ideally, you will work as part of a team to ensure that the curriculum is relevant and up-to-date. You will also have appropriate ICT skills and possess good knowledge and understanding of health and safety.

The Department of STEM and Construction operates across all three Forth Valley campuses and there may be a requirement to work at our other campuses if required.

We offer excellent terms and conditions and staff benefits, including:

Generous holiday entitlement of 62 days including Public Holidays & College Closure Days
Access to Scottish Teachers Superannuation Pension Scheme
Free access to the college gyms
A flexible working environment tailored to support work-life balance
Participation in a cycle to work scheme, promoting a healthy and environmentally friendly commute option
