We have a great opportunity to join our education team as a Functional Skills Maths Cover Tutor for Novus, the prison education provider at HMP Rye Hill. This role is offered on a sessional basis, working ad hoc hours per week.
What the role entails
In this role, you will work with, and be supported by, our amazing team of dedicated professionals to mentor our learners to develop their reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills, which will help them secure future employment opportunities post-release. You will need patience, passion, and understanding in your approach to our learners who have ‘hit a bump in the road’ but want to learn and improve.
Working in a prison is different from a mainstream education facility. We operate with security at the forefront, so our class sizes are small to maximize supportive delivery. You will also be supported by Learning Support Practitioners & Student Support Workers for one-on-one assistance when required. Our security team is on hand to ensure lessons run smoothly. Time will be given to planning, and your Local Education Manager is always available to provide support as needed. Delivery happens between Monday and Friday, and weekends are strictly for rest and relaxation.
What we need from you
To be successful in the role of Cover Tutor, you will need:
* A teaching qualification or subject specialist qualification at Level 4 (Level 5 – new standards) with a commitment to obtain the relevant outstanding Level 4 (Level 5 – new standards) qualification within a specified time scale (required)
* Hold at least a Level 2 qualification in Literacy and Numeracy
* Track record of effective teaching in subject specialism
* Gain/hold and maintain a clean, enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.
Ideally, you will want to be part of a team that focuses on improving lives and enabling learners to develop, grow, and be equipped for a life of work and success. You’ll be a self-starter with a passion to learn and grow yourself and will bring passion, dedication, and positivity to your new role.
Colleague Benefits
* Extensive annual leave which can be taken throughout the year and not restricted to school holiday times.
* Our in-house ‘Evolve’ training programme, which offers you the chance to upskill and further your career through a wide range of recognised qualifications.
* We support you through a teacher training qualification and assessor qualifications.
* Full package of training to support working in a Prison environment.
* Good progression routes into management positions within education.
* Learner class sizes are much smaller than in FE colleges.
* Able to be flexible and innovative with the curriculum.
* Part of the wider community of the prison service.
* Additional behavioural and complex need support.
* Pension scheme options including a Teachers Pension scheme.
* Our comprehensive in-house awards scheme.
* An Employee Assistance Programme including a free, confidential, 24/7 support service.
* Health care discounts through Simply Health.
* Retail discounts through You at Work.
* Our Cycle to Work scheme.
