This is a meaningful opportunity to equip learners with skills that open doors to future opportunities.
Key Responsibilities:
Plan, prepare, and deliver ICT lessons aligned with Gateway standards, meeting each learner at their level and using adaptive teaching techniques.
Develop, review, and adjust learning plans based on each learner’s goals, using BKSB diagnostics to identify strengths and growth areas.
Provide literacy support for learners who need additional help and encourage a love of reading for personal growth.
Integrate practical digital and employability skills into lessons to help learners transition into work or further study.
Plan activities for peer mentors, supervise their support in sessions, and ensure a collaborative learning environment.
Complete all administrative tasks, including attendance, enrolment, ILPs, exam arrangements, and progress reviews.
Work closely with Careers Advisors, Learning Support Practitioners, and prison staff to support learners with diverse needs and track their progress.
What We’re Looking For:
Minimum Level 2 in Maths & English.
Clear understanding of the OFSTED framework and expectations.
Ability to inspire, motivate, and manage challenging situations calmly and professionally.
Background in working with disadvantaged individuals and creating inclusive learning environments.
