Please send your application through by completing an application form and emailing it to [email protected] We will send you an acknowledgement of receipt within 24 hours.
Applications must be received by midnight on the closing date specified and if you are shortlisted for a position, we will then let you know when the interviews will take place. These can be at the College or remotely and we will organise accordingly. We usually reserve the right to appoint early for exceptional candidates.
