Join us at HMP Millsike as a CAD Tutor, where you’ll deliver high-quality, learner-centred training in Computer-Aided Design to small cohorts of motivated learners working towards City & Guilds Level 2 and 3 qualifications. This is more than just a teaching role — it’s an opportunity to empower individuals through restorative education, helping them build the technical, digital, and employability skills they need to succeed beyond the prison walls.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Deliver engaging CAD instruction with a focus on engineering principles, aligned to City & Guilds standards.
• Create a restorative learning environment where learners take ownership of their progress and development.
• Support diverse learning needs through adaptive teaching, personalised learning plans (ILPs), and embedded literacy support.
• Promote reading for pleasure, especially for those with lower-level literacy skills.
• Build employability and digital literacy, preparing learners for real-world opportunities.
• Ensure workshop safety and compliance, maintaining high standards of health, safety, and security.
• Collaborate with key partners, including CIAG and support teams, to deliver inclusive, effective education.
• Track progress and maintain records, contributing to parole reports and achievement data.
• Contribute to curriculum development and continuous improvement initiatives aligned to Ofsted expectations.

What We’re Looking For:

• Essential:
• Level 3 qualification in CAD or Engineering Design (or equivalent).
• Experience delivering CAD or engineering training.
• Strong communication and facilitation skills.
• Passion for supporting learner development and achievement.
• Ability to create inclusive, engaging learning environments.
• Understanding of safeguarding, health and safety, and data protection.
• Organised and confident with record-keeping and learner management.
• Desirable:
• Full teaching qualification (Level 5+) or willingness to work towards.
• Knowledge of the Ofsted Education Inspection Framework (EIF).
• Experience working with neurodivergent learners or those with additional needs.
• Familiarity with applying reasonable adjustments.
• Strong commitment to literacy and promoting reading.

Why Join Us?

• Small class sizes (up to 12 learners), allowing for individual support and relationship-building.
• Supportive team culture with ongoing CPD, training, and reflective practice.
• A role with real impact — helping learners gain meaningful qualifications, build confidence, and take steps towards a better future.
• Contribute to a rehabilitative, forward-thinking education programme that values dignity, growth, and second chances.
