Who we are

At City College Plymouth you will be joining a college that is proud of its culture, where our core values of Respect, Ownership and Integrity are there to nurture and support a passion for teaching and learning, enriching our community through knowledge, experience and skills enabling every student to be the best they can be.

At City College Plymouth, one of the country’s largest providers of quality education and training, we are going through a period of transition to enable us to propel education into the future. We pride ourselves on delivering a learning environment and organisational culture that impact positively on the health, wellbeing and sustainability of our community and enables all our students and staff to achieve their full potential.

The Role

We are seeking an experienced curriculum and quality professional to lead collaboration and continuous improvement across the DTEC hub-and-spoke network. You will support delivery partners to adopt and develop high-quality, employer-informed curricula, coordinate peer review and quality activity, and lead shared CPD, train-the-trainer and industry-exchange opportunities. The role will be central to building consistent teaching quality and sustainable specialist capability across a national network of providers working in defence-related technical education.

What Will You Bring to the Role

• Adapting - Able to adapt their approach across different partner organisations, curriculum areas and quality contexts, balancing multiple priorities while responding constructively to changing programme and provider needs.
• Collaborating - Able to build productive relationships across the hub-and-spoke network, recognise differing partner perspectives and sensitivities, and facilitate collaborative curriculum, quality and professional-development activity.
• Problem-solving - Able to analyse quality and performance evidence, identify patterns and underlying issues, critically evaluate practice, and develop proportionate improvement actions that can be applied across different delivery settings.
• Persistence - Able to drive sustained improvement across a dispersed network, maintaining focus and constructive challenge when progress is difficult, and following agreed actions through to implementation and measurable improvement.
