Blackburn College has nearly 700 people employed in a vast range of roles and feels more like a community than a workplace, and this sense of collaboration is just one of the benefits of working here. 

Blackburn College ensures its students have the latest skills, knowledge, and experience to excel in these fast-paced sectors.  This is a really exciting time to join the department as the College embarks on an ambitious investment programme providing state-of-the-art facilities and using low-carbon technologies. We ensure our students are work-ready and gain credible industry insight through our extensive enrichment and work experience programmes with leading players in the sector.

We believe that attending college is about more than achieving a qualification and aim to give all learners an opportunity to develop their full potential in a friendly and supportive environment. There has never been a better time to join us!

The Role

You are required to teach the Level 1 Art & Design curriculum awarded by UAL (University of the Arts London), which involves planning and delivering outstanding teaching, learning, and assessment. You will also teach AQA A-Level Art as part of this role and report to the Head of Sixth Form.

The Creative Arts department at Blackburn College has a strong external reputation for delivering flagship UAL provision and we are looking for someone who can continue to support this and further develop its curriculum to support local and national demand.  

What we are looking for

You should have a minimum UK level 4 qualification or ENIC equivalent in a related subject and a PGCE or other relevant teaching qualification. You will need a broad  knowledge and experience of the art & design industry along with requirements for HE progression alongside well-developed strategies for engaging and managing learners to develop their understanding and perspectives  of the art & design area. Experience of writing assignments and assessing student work against awarding body grading criteria is also essential.
