Working as a lecturer in adult and community education

If you get a teaching post in adult and community education your employer may be a local FE college, the adult education service or national or local voluntary organisation. You should go to FE Pay and Conditions or check with your local NATFHE branch or the Colleges Department if you are unclear about the terms and conditions of your employment.

Your employment as an adult education teacher is likely to be on a part-time basis; you can check out here how NATFHE is campaigning for the implementation of equality laws for part-time staff. 

If you have taken advantage of free associate membership of the union while you have studied to teach in post-school education, you can take out full membership on appointment to a post in adult education. NATFHE represents adult education lecturers on industrial relations and professional matters, and holds conferences and publishes material for lecturers working in adult education.
