Family Learning is part of the Adult Skills and Family Learning Service within Lincolnshire County Council. Within Family learning, we operate both joint family learning sessions and adult only. The joint sessions are delivered in conjunction with local schools, with tutors being responsible for the adult learner and a school link teacher leading the parent and child session. Adult only sessions tend to focus on English skills for ESOL learners and Functional Skills maths and English.
We offer a variety of courses and workshops, ranging from short engagement workshops and/or, courses of 2-hours duration. Please note, preparation, planning and set up time is then paid in addition. We would be interested in talking to potential tutors who are interested in teaching the joint sessions. The joint sessions include workshops/courses in the following subjects .: Keeping up with the Children English and maths, Learning through Play, Play and Language, Family Fun with Reading, Fun with Numbers, Play with Words, and Healthy Living, Grow your Own, Family Fun Outdoors, Family English, Family maths.
The adult only provision includes the provision of Functional Skills English/Maths or portfolio based accredited Literacy • Family Learning is about improving ‘Outcomes for Families’ by supporting them to learn together, and aims to increase the self-confidence of learners and change attitudes to learning • Family Learning gives parents/carers the opportunity to learn new skills and support their child’s learning in a fun and friendly way • Family Learning provision is targeted at learners who generally have English and maths skills at below Level 2 • Family Learning successfully engages with hard to reach learners because the emphasis is placed on supporting their children rather than explicitly addressing/acknowledging Skills for Life need. This takes away any stigma of previous under-achievement and low skill base • Knowledge is acquired from school but that knowledge is given a context by the family – e.g. children may learn to read at school, but it is often their families influence that creates a love of reading
Please note we will be interested to hear from suitably qualified individuals wo can offer flexible hours as some teaching assignments cannot be guaranteed as we are dependent on schools recruiting parents/grandparents to attend workshops and /or courses. We will always look to match hours a candidate is looking for per week, however this is dependent on demands from ,local schools. For that reason, it is term times only. We cannot offer full time hours. This role is to work with adults aged 19+ and teachers from the appropriate school are responsible for the child attending the session. We are looking for tutors to cover areas of : Horncastle/Louth, Skegness/Mablethorpe, Grantham, Stamford and Holbeach areas. Most sessions are approx 2 hours per session. Prep and planning at the teaching rate of £21 per hour, is paid on top of the teaching sessions.
please see an example of how the payment works below :
FL joint session
Workshop - £94.50 per session (usually 3hrs-4hrs delivery)
4 week Course - £420 (£84 per week + £84 for course planning/end of course paperwork)
We have put a start date of Jan, which will allow time for interview and the successful candidate/s to go through induction and undertake their mandatory online training. Please note, we do need candidates to understand this is a flexible agreement as we require schools to undertake the recruitment of learners in order that sessions run. We will always try and match the minimum number of hours that a candidate requires but cannot guarantee. Therefore we need candidates that can be flexible with their time and whom do not require full time hours.
some of the tutors currently teaching for us, have done so for quite a few years, where schools have requested ongoing courses.
