Hear from our staff

J.J. Keevey Curriculum Manager Hospitality and Catering

I joined MidKent College initially as sickness cover at the City Way campus whilst studying my DTLLS with the University of Kent. I was then offered sessional hours to assist in logging my required teaching hours for the DTLLS and further develop my teaching.

When the Horsted and City Way campuses joined and relocated to a brand new purpose-built campus in Gillingham, I was employed as a sessional lecturer which led to a full-time post in 2009. The support, training and encouragement over the years has seen me now progress into management.

At MidKent College, staff are not just a number, but individuals who are encouraged to communicate ideas and queries directly to line managers and senior management via dedicated communication channels. Staff focus days brings all staff together to help map out the policies, values, and mission of the College where students are at the forefront of what we do. Staff at MidKent College are part of a family and it’s a great place to work, be it for experienced staff or those starting their teaching career.

As well as my role as a Business Lecturer at MidKent College, I am also the Union Secretary for the College’s recognised union UCU. I have been in this role for about five years now and thoroughly enjoy supporting our College members and helping to develop policies/practices across the college. Both the Business and Union team I am a part of are very supportive which makes my role even mo
