North Kent College (including Hadlow College) is proudly rated as an Ofsted ‘Good’ provider, with ‘Outstanding’ learner behaviours and attitudes (April 2024). With four campuses across Kent and 4,000 students, we strive to equip the young people who study here with an inclusive and innovative education experience to enhance their future career prospects, which, as noted by Ofsted, is supported through our high-quality, industry standard facilities. Each and every staff member plays a key part in delivering the success of our learners’ experience, and we want those who join our curriculum and support teams to share our passion in achieving this.

Working within North Kent College’s Art, Fashion and Photography curriculum area, an exciting opportunity has arisen for a suitability qualified, experienced, and passionate individual to join the team as a Senior Instructor.

The successful candidate will take prime responsibility of all equipment within the Photography department and will work with Photographers at Level 2, Level 3 and Level 4. Additionally, the Senior Instructor will be accountable for assisting in the maintenance and organisation of the practical resources used, as well as providing professional technical advice/assistance to the learners and colleagues. As a Senior Instructor, you will be required to teach up to 250 hours across the academic year.

Applicants need hold a minimum of a Level 3 qualification in a relevant photographic subject and a solid understanding of the occupational area. Experience working in a commercial photography studio and/or a Further Education environment or training facility in an instructor capacity is desirable, although not essential.

In return, we’ll give you 33 days annual leave plus bank holidays, and you’ll be enrolled onto the Teachers' Pension Scheme (TPS) which also includes life assurance. You’ll also benefit from free parking and have access to a range of onsite facilities including a nursery, restaurants and coffee shops.
