Rated 'outstanding' by Ofsted, Fareham College's commitment to student success is mirrored in its ambitions for its employees.

The further education provider, which has around 300 staff spread over three campuses, has been praised for its teaching quality, learner outcomes, and the care and support it offers its students.

It offers a diverse range of full and part-time courses, from NVQs and BTECs to apprenticeships, preparing leavers for their chosen career or university. And there are state-of-the-art specialist facilities for those looking to excel in engineering and manufacturing.

The learning doesn't stop with its students. Fareham College's employees benefit from the wealth of skills and knowledge it has access to, including its links to regional and national employers. These relationships and internal expertise support year-round staff development opportunities, as well as helping the College adapt its courses to reflect changing employment patterns and demands.

For instance, the College supports engineering and digital industries experts starting in lecturing roles to gain their full teaching qualifications through internal qualifications and mentoring.

And rated highly for its student welfare, the College looks out for its staff too with competitive salaries, generous annual leave – up to 50 days for lecturers, and discounted access to its on-site fine dining restaurant, hair and beauty services and gym.
