About the Role
Leeds City College are recruiting for 5 variable hours ESOL Teachers to join our ESOL team.
We have high staffing needs because we are a large provider. We are developing a bank of flexible teachers, who might later move into permanent positions.

The teaching hours are for evening groups (17:00-19:30 or/and 18:30-21:00) at our Enfield Campus, LS7 1RG. There is no guarantee of work in the first instance. This post is for absence cover, long-term sick leave, new groups starting, etc. Successful applicants may choose anything from one session to more; dependent on availability.
