Make business real. Build confidence. Help students see where it can take them.
Business is everywhere.
It shapes the organisations people work in, the decisions they make, the services they use and the opportunities they can access.
As our Business Lecturer, you’ll help students understand that world and see where their knowledge could take them next.
You’ll teach across Business provision, including A Level Business and the Business elements of T Level Law, bringing theory to life through current examples, case studies, employer insight, digital tools and practical activity.
You’ll help students build knowledge, confidence and professional habits, not just complete assignments or prepare for exams.
What matters is that you can make business clear, relevant and engaging, and that you want students to leave with the confidence to take their next step.

At Wigan & Leigh College, our lecturers help students reach their full potential.
In Business, that means helping students understand the organisations, decisions and opportunities that shape working life.
Some will go on to university. Some will move into apprenticeships or employment. Others will still be deciding what their future looks like.
Your teaching can help make those choices clearer.
You’ll join a college that values practical, relevant learning and high expectations. You’ll work with colleagues who care about students, each other and the communities we serve.
If you’re already teaching, this is a chance to bring your Business knowledge into a college with ambition. If you’re moving from industry into education, we’ll support you to develop your teaching practice and work towards a recognised qualification.
Great people. Change lives.
