We are working with a popular and well-established College across its RCT and Caerphilly campuses, seeking a full-time Foundation Learning Lecturer - Skills to join their team.

- Require a higher level of pastoral and emotional support
- Need significant differentiation, structure and encouragement

What we’re looking for
- Strong previous experience within a Foundation Learning or similar environment
- Experience teaching and supporting learners across a range of abilities
- A strong understanding of ALN, learner engagement and behaviour management
- The ability to effectively differentiate learning
- Excellent relationship-building and pastoral skillsA patient, resilient and consistent approach
