About teaching at Accrington & Rossendale College

Our expectations

We have high expectations of all of our teaching staff. Good teachers can change the lives of our learners. Our teachers are those who see teaching as a vocation and not simply a job. They are prepared to go above and beyond for their learners to enable them to realise their potential.

As a vocational College focussed on the future careers of our learners, we expect our teachers to be dual professionals. For us, this means an equal emphasis on your pedagogical, subject and vocational skills and ensuring that you continually strive to develop both aspects of your role.

We, like every other Further Education College operate in a challenging and continually changing environment. We are proud of our Outstanding status and understand that it is our staff’s passion, innovation and commitment to excellence in all they do that will allow us to remain outstanding. 

We demand a lot of our staff.  We need them to have resilience, determination to ensure the best for their learners, to work flexibly and to put teaching and learning at the heart of everything they do.

What you can expect

  • A full time teaching load of 828 hours per annum which is amongst the lowest in the sector
  • A generous 55 days holiday and a further 8 days dedicated to study / development / vocational updating
  • 5 College run staff development days per year
  • Frequent opportunities for career enhancement for example through our annual appointment of Advanced Practitioners from within our teaching teams
  • Well-equipped classrooms and workshops to support  innovative teaching, learning and assessment practice
  • Significant investment through our digital strategy to support effective teaching and learning
  • Sympathetic timetabling wherever possible to avoid a spread of too many different courses and levels and the inclusion, where possible, of repeat lessons
  • A culture of support across the organisation
  • An expectation of shared practice including resources, schemes of learning and session plans
  • An excellent learning support team including support from our Personalised Learning Centre, in class support and a team of specialist support workers to advise and inform teaching and learning
  • An active and supportive Quality team
  • Well established and effective administration support pods dedicated to each faculty
  • A comprehensive professional development programme which includes in-house provision as well as externally supported events
