Roles and structures within further education colleges seem to be in constant change and development; roles are becoming blurred, and lecturers are taking on more management tasks. Alongside this has been the development of para-professional roles, using non-lecturers to undertake teaching tasks. This can allow for the greater involvement of lecturers in the management and quality assurance aspects of the curriculum, leaving the delivery and assessment to others. This could be seen as a downgrading of the skills and expertise required in the classroom, in contrast to the drive to “professionalise” the Further Education lecturer role through the development of Qualified Teacher: Learning & Skills (QT:LS) status. This paper seeks to explore the potential benefits of the para-professional role for colleges, through data drawn from a regional survey, and focuses further upon findings from a case study investigation of the role within bone college.
