It may only be spring, but many FE colleges are already planning their staffing for September. Departments are reviewing timetables and identifying gaps early to make sure they're fully staffed for the next academic year.
Across colleges — particularly in areas Peterborough — we’re already seeing consistent demand for lecturers such as:
Construction (Brickwork, Carpentry, Electrical Installation, Plumbing)
Engineering & Manufacturing
Computing / IT / Digital
Mathematics
Science (particularly Physics and applied STEM subjects)
Business & Professional Services
ESOL and Functional Skills
GCSE English & Maths resit provision
Health & Social Care
These subjects are very popular in FE, with colleges often competing with industry salaries to attract specialists. Many providers are expanding courses in engineering, digital and construction, which is increasing the demand for experienced lecturers.
If you're an FE lecturer thinking about your next move for September, now is the perfect time to start the conversation before the main hiring period begins.
As an FE resourcer at TeacherActive, I’m currently connecting with lecturers across a range of subject areas who are open to:
Permanent roles
Long-term placements
Flexible teaching opportunities
