You would be joining the Faculty of HE Health and Education which offers opportunities for students to develop their professional knowledge, skills and understanding in their chosen of area of study.

The postholder will primarily teach on the Foundation Degree Health and Social Care that we run in partnership with the University of Greenwich and is delivered from the Bexley/Erith Campus. The programme is also delivered at the Bromley campus and therefore there may be a need for some teaching across campuses. ?

You will have a good understanding of legislation, policy, multi-agency teams and theory related to working with service users. You will have a working knowledge of industry progression routes.

As the College supports a number of children and vulnerable adults, all staff are exempt from Section 4(2) of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. Accordingly, all staff will be subject to an ‘Enhanced’ DBS (formerly CRB) check, along with a Children’s Barred List check if in regulated activity. Any offers of appointment may be withdrawn if these checks prove to be unsatisfactory to the College. Self-disclosure will be required as part of the recruitment process. If you fail to make a full disclosure or provide sight of your DBS certificate then your offer of employment is likely to be withdrawn. The College’s DBS policy covers the recruitment of ex-offenders which is available upon request.
