What skills and experience we're looking for
Engineering Apprentice position at Lincoln UTC
Full time – starting October 2026
Lincoln UTC wishes to appoint an enthusiastic Engineering Apprentice to join our specialist engineering team.
The college is smaller than most schools but is growing in popularity. We currently have just under 400 students on roll. Lincoln UTC currently approximately 35 teaching staff supported by a team of 6 teaching assistants. We are an uncommonly ‘tight knit’ and supportive community.
Behaviour at the college is exceptional and the relationships that exist between students and staff are very positive.
The successful candidate will be actively involved in all aspects of college life alongside the completion of a 3-year apprenticeship delivered onsite at the UTC.
Prior experience within engineering is not essential but is welcomed. Full training and support will be available. This is a fixed term position for 3 years (duration of the apprenticeship), term time + 10 days (pro rata).
What the school offers its staff
The atmosphere at Lincoln UTC is both unique and special. We would welcome (indeed encourage) visits to the college so that you can see for yourself what we have to offer. Equally, we understand that this is not always possible and we will not view applications from candidates who have not visited less favourably.
For further details, for an application pack, or to arrange a visit please contact Holly Hardiman-Crust on 01522 775990 or email HR@lincolnutc.co.uk
Closing Date: Noon – Thursday 24th September 2026

Lincoln UTC is a unique learning environment. We are a 14 to 19 specialist college for science, technology, engineering, and maths. Most visitors to the college assume (wrongly) that we are either a selective or a fee-paying private school. This misunderstanding initially stems from the stunning buildings we are fortunate enough to work in. Our Victorian, listed building at the front is reminiscent of Hogwarts. To the rear of the site, our state-of-the-art laboratories and workshops are housed in an equally impressive, but totally contrasting, £9 million new build. The atmosphere within the college is just as impressive as the physical learning environment. Our students don’t wear uniform. They all (right down to Year 10) wear business dress. They look like adults and they behave like adults. This is an unusually calm, purposeful, and respectful learning community.
Lincoln UTC is much smaller than most schools with 400 students, 26 teaching staff and a senior leadership team of just 3 people. The college is always over-subscribed but has no desire to grow beyond its current numbers. As a specialist college we offer fewer subjects than most schools (excelling in the ones that we do) but we do offer students an exceptionally wide range of other (work-related) experiences and opportunities.
When Ofsted inspected the UTC in June 2019 (two good and three outstanding judgements), they commented on the ‘strong and supportive culture and the exceptionally high staff morale’. Pupil behaviour and conduct were described as ‘impeccable’. They went on to say that, ‘the behaviour of pupils is outstanding. Pupils have exceptionally positive attitudes towards their learning.’
