Nottingham College

About Us

Working for Nottingham College feels like more than just a job. We offer careers with a rewarding social purpose – to unlock potential through learning. We educate and support over 20,000 every year, across Nottingham and nationally across the UK too.

Our vision is to be recognised as an outstanding provider of choice for education and skills training, and as a place of work we want to be an employer of choice too. We offer a wide range of exciting employment pathways and that’s why working for us is a brilliant career move!

What it’s like to work for us?

We are the product of multiple mergers over the years so we’ve got pretty good at coming together as one team.

Here you will feel supported by a network of like-minded colleagues who are passionate about their job and who put our students at the heart of everything we do.

Whether you teach or work within one of our support functions, we encourage you to get out, in front of students. You could even deliver a lesson!

We all have an impact on a student’s experience of college – whether we teach the lessons, keep the building clean and safe, process applications or enrolments, design advertising that attracts a student, or cook in our onsite cafes, we are all in this together.

Flexibility
We pride ourselves on our emphasis and promotion of a positive work-life balance. Happy staff mean happy students so your wellbeing is paramount.

We promote flexible working arrangements so that there are no barriers in your way to doing a fantastic job.

Over 50% of our workforce works part-time and many more work flexible hours so that they can care for children, other members of their family or pursue other interests.

Leadership
Leadership development is a key part of our training and development offer.

A lot of our colleagues hold a management or leadership qualification and more are scheduled to take up a course this year. Many of our managers started out their careers as a non-manager with us and we are proud of our track record in supporting our staff to develop and reach their potential, wherever they see their career taking them.

Community
The College’s work in the community is unprecedented.

We deliver hundreds of courses out in community venues, many free of charge, to adults who find themselves long-term unemployed, who need to upskill to meet the needs of the modern workplace or who need support to build confidence and rapport with like-minded people.

In addition, we take corporate social responsibility seriously too. Our staff are encouraged to take up volunteering and are offered one day a year to take time out from their job to give something back to the community by way of volunteering.

Diversity
Our strength as a college and as a workforce is our diversity. Our commitment to diversity is strengthened still by our regular cross-college OD and HR Committee and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee, which take place monthly and ensure the College is proactive in embracing and celebrating our diversity in a number of fantastic initiatives that take place throughout the year.
