About us

As one of the largest colleges in the UK and a key contributor to learning in our capital city, Edinburgh College is proud to support over 25,000 students from around 97 countries worldwide to achieve the future they want. As a student-centred organisation and one which offers around 700 courses across 32 subject areas, Edinburgh College also works with more than 1,800 industry partners to help secure the best possible employment opportunities for our students. We have great benefits at Edinburgh College, with generous annual leave, a career-average pension scheme and access to other benefits like tax-free childcare and cycle to work. We also have great on-site facilities including a gym, pool, training restaurants, shops and canteens. Plus you get to be part of a unique organisation which contributes to improving the lives of others.

Equal Opportunities

As an equal opportunities employer, we strive to ensure that no employee or job applicant receives less favourable facilities or treatment (either directly or indirectly) in recruitment or employment on grounds of age, disability, gender/gender reassignment, marriage/civil partnership, pregnancy/maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation (the protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010).

Care Experienced

Edinburgh College is a corporate parent to care experienced people and as many care experienced people are known to fall behind on education and job opportunities we are committed to providing extra support to those who need it. As such you will be prioritised for an interview if you meet the essential criteria.

SCQF Inclusive recruiter

In this challenging climate, it’s even more important to put the right person with the right skills in the right job. As an SCQF Inclusive recruiter, we use SCQF levels instead of specific qualifications, to ensure that we get the best range of suitable candidates.
