Whether you’re in the classroom, behind the scenes, or providing vital support, every role contributes to helping people achieve their goals and change their lives through education.

A Range of Roles with Real Purpose

Our workforce is made up of dedicated professionals across a wide range of roles, including:

  • Teaching and lecturing staff

  • Learning support staff

  • Technicians

  • Business support teams

  • Industry and learner engagement specialists

No matter the role, one thing unites us all — a commitment to supporting high-quality teaching and learning.

Inclusion and Opportunity

We are proud to be an inclusive employer and welcome applications from everyone, regardless of gender, disability, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation or faith. We particularly encourage applications from candidates of diverse cultural backgrounds who are currently under-represented in our workforce.

We are committed to equality of opportunity and operate a guaranteed interview scheme for disabled applicants who meet the essential criteria.

All successful applicants will be required to undergo an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.

Safeguarding Commitment

Southend Adult Community College is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people, and vulnerable adults. We expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment and support a culture where everyone can learn and work in a safe, respectful, and welcoming environment, free from harassment and bullying.

Volunteering With Us

Volunteering opportunities are flexible and can be tailored to your interests and availability. You may be involved in:

  • Supporting tutors and learners in the classroom

  • Offering 1:1 help or encouragement to individual learners

  • Assisting with events and college-wide activities
