Supply Pool - Hair & Beauty Technician

The college currently administers its own supply pool of staff for assignments on a casual basis and is available for individuals who wish to undertake lecturing, learner support or administration work. Opportunities occur across the entire College curriculum and in the various administrative centres within the College, together with Adult Learning courses at various venues within the local community. Assignments can be as little as a couple hours a week up to full time working and many supply pool staff have gone on to hold fixed term and permanent posts within the College. Assignments may involve contact with children under 18 or vulnerable members of society, therefore, under Part V of the Police Act 1997, all individuals engaged in such occupations are required to obtain a certificate of disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service. This must be carried out before any work is offered. If you are looking to further your career at a groundbreaking and award-winning College, we'd love to hear from you!
