About the role
We have an exciting opportunity for two outstanding digital skills tutors to join our Digital team as we continue to move forward, grow our provision, and positively embrace emerging technologies for the benefit and development of our students.

We are seeking enthusiastic and highly skilled individuals who would relish the opportunity to share their knowledge, skills, and industry experience when teaching across a range of digital programmes.

•    Cybersecurity: Strong understanding of cybersecurity principles, threat management, and secure coding practices.
•    Software Development: Experience in full-stack development including frontend technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and backend development.
•    Web Development: Proficiency in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with additional experience in frameworks such as React being beneficial.
•    Data Science: Experience with data analysis tools and techniques, machine learning, and AI would be a plus.
•    Creative computing: an ability to teach games-based topics, as well as creative aspects of digital production (concept art, 3D modelling, etc.).
•    Project Management: Demonstrated experience in leading projects or programmes, with the ability to mentor students in project-based learning environments.

Qualifications:
•    Minimum of HND in a relevant Computing discipline, or/and relevant industry standard qualifications and experience.
•    Ideally, possession of a recognised teaching qualification, or willingness to work towards one with funding support from the College.
•    Recent experience within a digital environment, staying current with industry trends and technologies.
