The Role
We are looking to recruit a full time Hairdressing Tutor that can do more than just deliver accredited qualifications but can also engage and inspire students that have had little or no prior education. We need Tutors that believe people are capable of change and deserve a second chance in life. Applicants should have Level 3 Hairdressing.
Our Tutors work with small groups of prison-based learners to develop their skills, knowledge and behaviours while supporting them with their long-term goals and aspirations. They ensure that the appropriate training plans are in place and that the advice and guidance is given when required while ensuring they deliver the highest level of quality courses that engage with the learners and help them to reach their potential.
What are we looking for?
You should have a passion for what you do along with substantial experience in Hairdressing. You will need to be an expert in your field and hold appropriate level 3 vocational qualification.
Ideally you will have some experience in delivering vocational based training. A teaching or assessing qualification is desired but don’t worry if you haven’t got one, PeoplePlus will get you trainer qualified as part of your probation.
You should be able to display a wide range of training methods to engage learners from all ages, abilities and backgrounds, including learners with significant barriers to employment and training. You will need to be driven to deliver the best employer/industry led skills training and willingness to understand employer or industry requirements

Testimonials
"What I love about working in a prison environment is that no 2 days are the same. You are a number of different roles such as counsellor, adviser and at times the person that makes a difference in that individual’s life.
There are also good career opportunities for an individual. I started as a supply tutor and I am now an assistant manager. At PeoplePlus you are given the opportunities to gain new skills and qualifications to enable you to be the best version of yourself."
"I have been lucky enough to work in a number of roles within PeoplePlus within the prison education sector, each of which has provided variety, challenge, and immense job satisfaction. The company recognises, values, and rewards the hard work of its employees, providing great professional development and career progression opportunities as well as a great range of perks and support for wellbeing."
