WHY WORK FOR US?

Gateshead College is a special place to work. Every day we set out to give our students and apprentices the highest standards of education, training and real world skills. It’s a combination we call education with employment edge. And you won’t find it anywhere else.

As part of our team, you’ll have a role to play in giving our students the skills and support to tackle the world of work and the encouragement they need to make the most of their talents. Whether you’re in a teaching or a support role, in front of a class or helping behind the scenes, everyone has the opportunity to contribute.

It’s these things that will make a big difference in their lives. And you’ll get to see it happening day in, day out. We work hard but the rewards make it all worthwhile.

In return for everything you can bring, we can offer a values-driven organisation full of people who think you should enjoy your job. Our inclusive culture means you can be yourself and we’ll invest in your development. For teachers this includes access to our Teacher Academy where you’ll be assigned a coach to help develop your practice and attend an annual conference to share best practice. For non-teaching staff it includes regular career conversations, development days and a summer conference.
