Ready to take your electrical career in a new direction?

Sunderland College is looking to hear from experienced electricians who may be interested in sharing their industry knowledge and helping to develop the next generation of electrical professionals.

You may already be an experienced lecturer, or you could be an electrician considering teaching for the first time. Either way, we’d love to hear from you.

This is an opportunity to join our expanding Construction Team at Sunderland College, part of Education Partnership North East (EPNE), and play an important role in shaping the future of Electrical Installation.

Why Sunderland College?

Sunderland College is one of the North East’s largest providers of post-16 education, supporting around 14,300 students across three campuses in Sunderland.

We’re proud of our students, our staff and the outcomes we achieve. In October 2024, Sunderland College was graded Outstanding by Ofsted across all areas, reflecting our commitment to high-quality teaching, learning and student support.

We’re also committed to our staff. When you join us, you’ll be part of a supportive team where your industry experience is valued, your development is encouraged and you’ll receive the support you need to succeed.

Could teaching be your next career move?

You don’t need to have teaching experience to be considered.

If you’re a qualified electrician with strong practical and theoretical knowledge of Electrical Installation, we can support you in making the transition from industry into further education.

You’ll receive:

• A dedicated mentor and structured induction
• Full support to achieve a teaching qualification
• Professional development and CPD opportunities
• Collaborative support from experienced colleagues
• Shared resources and schemes of work
• Support from curriculum and learning support teams
• Opportunities to maintain and develop your industry knowledge

If you don’t already hold a teaching qualification, you’ll normally complete one within your first two years. The qualification is designed to fit alongside the role, with dedicated time provided during your first year to support your transition into education.

You may also be eligible for Taking Teaching Further (TTF) funding and/or the Targeted Retention Incentive, depending on the role, subject area and your individual circumstances.

You’ll deliver Electrical Installation up to Level 3, combining classroom theory with practical, workshop-based learning.

Teaching may include areas such as:

• Electrical Scientific Principles and Technologies
• Design and Installation Practices
• Planning and Overseeing Electrical Work
• Terminations and Connections
• Inspection, Testing and Commissioning
• Fault Diagnosis and Rectification
• Health, Safety and Environmental Considerations

With typical class sizes of around 16 students, you’ll have the opportunity to provide hands-on support and make a real difference to learners’ development.

What does the role look like?

The role is 37 hours per week, including approximately 24 hours of timetabled teaching and 13 hours for planning, assessment, curriculum development, meetings, quality assurance and student progress.

Your teaching week could include a mixture of:

• Classroom theory
• Workshop-based practical sessions
• Tutorials and Global Skills

No two days are necessarily the same, and you’ll have the opportunity to use your industry experience to make learning practical, relevant and engaging.

Your industry experience matters

We’re looking for people who can bring their real-world electrical experience into the classroom.

Whether you’ve spent years working on electrical installations, have extensive site experience or have developed specialist knowledge within the industry, your experience could help inspire and prepare the next generation of electricians.

You’ll also have the opportunity to develop strong links with employers and industry partners, helping students gain valuable experience and progress into successful careers.

What’s in it for you?

As part of EPNE, you’ll have access to a comprehensive benefits package, including:

• 35–48 days’ annual leave, plus public holidays
• Generous family leave and flexible working options, depending on the role
• Membership of the LGPS or Teachers’ Pension Scheme, depending on the role
• Retail discounts through the myLifestyle benefits platform
