About Morley College London

Established in 1889, and with our roots stretching back even further, Morley College London is one of the country’s oldest and largest specialist providers of adult education. We provide long-term, sustainable and affordable programmes of lifelong learning across three centres – North Kensington, Chelsea and Waterloo – including 16-19 provision at North Kensington and Chelsea.

As one of only nine Specialist Designated Institutions (SDIs) in the UK, we serve more than 17,000 students through a coherent, student-centred course offer, underpinned by our mission to empower individuals and strengthen communities through education in Arts, Culture and Applied Sciences. Whether studying for personal development and well-being, to gain essential skills (English, Maths, IT), to access higher education, or for career development or change, our vision is for ambitions to be inspired and achieved through learning.

Following Morley College’s merger with Kensington and Chelsea College in February 2020, the College is reshaping its curriculum and professional service teams to facilitate an ambitious plan for development and growth. As the UK looks to a post-COVID recovery, Morley College London is more determined than ever before to support Londoners to learn, and so we’re looking for applications from talented individuals with energy and enthusiasm. .

The North Kensington Centre is growing its provision in Accounting, Business and Enterprise, consisting of both accredited and unaccredited short courses. The planned renovations will have a dedicated IT suite. The learner is placed at the heart of a unique educational experience to build their industry skills and soft skills towards prosperity in their future career and/or future studies.

Morley College offers a supportive work environment alongside other additional benefits such as the Teachers’ Pension Scheme and training opportunities.
