Types of roles at the college
Teaching roles
Teaching in Further Education is an exciting and highly rewarding career choice for both experienced and newly qualified teachers.
Some of our teachers choose to work on a part-time basis so they can continue to work in their chosen industry. This allows them to keep up-to-date with important developments and to continue forging links and contacts that benefit our students.
Already a teacher, thinking about a career in Essex?
Why teach in Essex?
Relocating can often be daunting but here are some reasons why you should consider Essex.
Good value housing
Compared to London and many parts of the South East, you can still get good value in Essex and more chances to get on the housing ladder. Ideal for first time buyers, there are many opportunities for shared ownership and other affordable housing options.
Loads of green space
Essex is a great place for adventure seekers. There are numerous parks, public gardens and woodlands. Sports include mountain biking (we’re home to the Olympic mountain bike course), trekking and water sports.
Great schools
Essex is a great place to bring up a family, with plenty of different schooling options.
Seaside lovers
Many people dream of living by the sea (or at least very near it). Move to Essex and you can do just that.
Loads going on!
Festivals, theatre, cultural events… Essex is full of great things to do without the stress of London commuting.
Interested in getting into teaching?
Many of our teachers retrain later in life after rewarding industry careers in a range of sectors including fashion design, digital animation, plumbing and marine engineering.
We welcome professionals and industry experts who want to become the teachers and educators of our future generation.
Support team roles
We recruit a large range of people with a variety of skills to ensure the smooth-running of the college and provide a high quality service to our students. Our support roles include HR, marketing, IT, estate management and catering.
Specialist roles
Ensuring the safety of our students is a key part of college life so we need highly qualified, empathetic and professional people to help us do this. Roles include safeguarding, additional learning support mentors and student enrichment officers.
