IN SHORT
Milton Keynes College is seeking a passionate Maths Programme Manager to join the dedicated education team based at HMP Elmley.
As a Programme Manager, you will be dedicated to delivering learning success through effective leadership, collaboration, and your own teaching commitment. Your focus will be on the success of the students and support improvement within the department, specifically within Maths and Numeracy. You will lead on the delivery, design, and development of programmes, maintaining an oversight of the student journey to ensure they have an excellent learning experience. Many of the learners have a diverse range of needs and learning abilities, and they will often have had a negative experience with education – a huge focus for the department is to enable them and support them to gain essential functional skills.
This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated and passionate individual who can provide high-quality programmes and support students who may have little experience of education. This will be a challenging yet highly rewarding role!
MK College will treat all applicants fairly and with respect, irrespective of their background, disability, or any other individual characteristic. We particularly encourage applications from people with backgrounds that are currently under-represented within Milton Keynes College.

In addition, security clearance is required for all prison services positions up to Counter Terrorist Check (CTC) level.
