Multiskills Vocational Trades Tutor in Brixton Hill

We are looking to recruit a permanent, full-time Multi Skills Vocational Trades Tutor that can do more than just deliver training but can also engage and inspire learners that have had little or no prior education. Based on-site at HMP Brixton, you will be working with small groups of prison-based learners to develop their skills, knowledge and behaviours while supporting them with their long-term goals and aspirations.

Our Tutors 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 we are looking for:

• Level 2 Vocational qualification within bricks, paints, carpentry, electrics etc.
• An expert in your field with substantial vocational experience in one or more of the above listed subjects.
• Experience of delivering vocational based training.
• A teaching or assessing qualification is desirable.
• Ability to display a wide range of training methods to engage learners.

If you don’t currently hold a teaching or assessing qualification, we are able to support you through the appropriate qualifications and assessments, as part of your probationary period.

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’re 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.
