About the role
The King’s Trust programme at Telford College is a dynamic, hands-on year designed for young people who’ve left school without the skills or confidence to jump straight into their chosen vocational or academic path. This programme is all about getting stuck in, building grit, and unlocking potential.
As a King’s Trust Lecturer, you’ll lead students through a high-energy mix of challenges that push them to develop new skills, build resilience, and boost their self-belief. The programme focuses on practical units like Teamwork, Physical Wellbeing, Career Planning, and Money Management—teaching real-life skills that matter both on and off the field.
You’ll also support learners to sharpen their Maths, helping them hit the grades they need to move forward. If you’re someone who thrives on motivating others, values toughness and teamwork, and wants to make a lasting difference, this is the role for you.
