IN SHORT
MK College Group has an exciting opportunity for a creative English Lecturer to join the team at HMP Rochester, which is expanding due to a recent merger with Cookham Wood. This new role is within our dynamic and innovative team.
As an English Lecturer, you will engage prison-based learners through creative classes and resources, teaching a functional skills programme tailored to adult learners. This role allows learners to improve their English communication skills, gain confidence, and develop a love of reading. Many learners have diverse needs and past negative educational experiences, so your role will be to inspire them and provide a positive learning experience.
You will work with learners from various backgrounds in different settings, either classroom-based or in smaller groups across the prison. Your lessons need to be adaptable, innovative, and imaginative, as you connect with learners professionally, supporting their success through qualifications and the development of essential skills.
