Planning and delivering engaging, inclusive teaching across a range of Adult Skills programmes.
Delivering and assessing regulated qualifications and non-regulated learning.
Supporting learners to achieve their qualifications and learning aims.
Providing constructive feedback and maintaining accurate assessment and learner records.
Adapting teaching to different learner needs, abilities and starting points.
Developing learners' confidence, resilience, employability skills and workplace behaviours.
Monitoring attendance, engagement and progress and providing additional support where needed.
Working with colleagues to maintain high standards of teaching, assessment and quality assurance.

Who are we looking for?
Above all, we are looking for someone who can connect with adult learners and inspire them to achieve.
You may already work in Further Education or Adult Education, or as a trainer or tutor in another setting. You will have experience of teaching, training or facilitating learning, including qualifications, employability, personal development or vocational programmes. You should be confident assessing learner work and maintaining accurate records.
You will be engaging, motivational, learner-focused and approachable, with the ability to adapt to different groups and support adults who may be returning to education after a significant period. You will be organised, collaborative, positive and solution-focused, with high expectations for teaching, assessment and learner achievement.
You will hold an appropriate teaching qualification, a relevant Level 3 qualification and GCSE English and Mathematics at Grade C/4 or equivalent.
Experience of Adult Skills Fund provision, SWAPs, regulated qualifications or working with unemployed adults would be an advantage but is not essential.
Why join us?

You will join a growing provision where you can contribute ideas, develop resources and programmes, and help shape the learner experience. Most importantly, you will see the direct impact of your work as learners build confidence, achieve qualifications and progress into employment, apprenticeships or further learning.
