Decorating/Tiling Tutor in Ashill

The Role

We are seeking to recruit a permanent, full-time Vocational Trades Tutor in Painting, Decorating, and Tiling who can do more than simply deliver training—someone who can motivate, engage, and inspire learners who may have had little or no previous educational experience. Based on-site at HMP Wayland, you will work with small groups of prison-based learners, helping them develop practical trade skills, industry knowledge, and positive behaviours while supporting their long-term goals and future aspirations. As a Tutor, you will ensure effective training plans are in place, provide guidance and support where needed, and deliver high-quality, engaging vocational training that enables learners to build confidence and achieve their full potential.

What We Are Looking For

• Level 2 vocational qualification in Painting & Decorating and/or Tiling
• Strong industry experience within your trade area
• Experience delivering vocational or practical skills training
• A teaching or assessing qualification is desirable
• Ability to use a range of engaging teaching and training methods to support learners with varying needs and abilities

If you do not currently hold a teaching or assessing qualification, we can support you in achieving the appropriate qualifications and assessments during your probationary period.

Who We Are

Here at People Plus, we make a positive difference to people's lives every single day. We use our experience to support hundreds of thousands of people each year. Our committed teams work across Britain to deliver a range of public services, including employment support, skills training, prison education, starting a business, and support to help employers grow.

To put it simply, we:

• Support people to find and keep jobs
• Help people to set up their own businesses
• Deliver skills training to further people's careers
• Work with employers to build a skilled and happy workforce
• Rehabilitate people with convictions
• Tackle the root causes of offending
• Support carers

We are extremely proud to be a Gold accredited Investors in People organisation. This demonstrates our commitment to creating the very best environment and culture for our colleagues to succeed and thrive. We are committed to transforming the lives of people with convictions through our work in prisons. Our services have been designed to tackle the underlying causes of offending behaviour so people can make positive changes to their lives.

With more than 500 people working to support people with convictions in custody and in the community, we bring passion, experience and innovation to public sector rehabilitation services. We also work with specialist partner organisations to help people move away from their past and look forward to a brighter future. All of our services are designed in partnership with the people we are trying to help and away from our direct work with people serving their sentences, we are working hard to change attitudes towards people who can often be tarnished unfairly following criminal convictions.

Our Social Recruitment Framework brings together organisations to tackle any pre-conceived ideas about hiring people who have previously been involved in crime. We also work with employers on the Ban the Box initiative to support fair and equal recruitment processes and have engaged industry to influence our employer-led curriculum delivered to our learners.
