About Us:

THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF REGINA’S CARE, SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT

Westminster Adult Education Service (WAES) is a world of extraordinary stories, where inspirational people help our residents acquire new knowledge and skills on the hundreds of courses we offer. People like Regina, are dedicated to encouraging learners as they navigate the world of study and assisting them as they develop their careers.

Regina started at WAES as an Admissions Temp in 2008 through an agency for a 2-week booking. She excelled in this role and was asked to stay on a permanent basis. Regina loved this role as she was able to support and make a difference to people\’s lives.

Regina always wanted to support people, help them focus on their dreams and make a positive impact on their lives, so when the new posts of Career and Learning Development Officers came up, she didn’t think twice about embracing the challenges of the role. And now her days are spent welcoming new learners, guiding them on their journeys and pointing them in the direction of opportunities they might never have known about before. With the financial support of WAES, Regina is about to finish her Level 6 qualification in Careers Information Education Advice and Guidance.

Yassir is one of her many success stories – born in Sudan, his father’s work meant he moved to a different country every few years, until at the age of 12 he found himself in the UK. He stayed here for a while before moving back to Sudan, but then war broke out and he returned to the UK. He applied for a place at King’s College London and started his studies before falling seriously ill and was forced to drop out. When he recovered, Yassir didn’t know where his future lay but was single-minded in his determination to make something of his life, so he joined WAES and started studying with us, which is when he met Regina. She helped him with his university application, and he is now studying Molecular Genetics at Sheffield University.

Regina is at the heart of our commitment to the residents of Westminster, and her dedication and determination to seek out the best in people is what makes her such an inspiration to her colleagues and the learners she works with.

The Role:

As a Digital Tutor with WAES you can make your own powerful contribution to our success. Providing learners with high quality teaching experiences, you’ll develop individual learning plans for your students, track and monitor their progress, and keep accurate records of attendance, progress, achievement and assessment. Capable of setting and marking assignments, tests and examinations in line with qualification specifications and awarding body requirements, you’ll also be ready to provide constructive feedback to students as you support their learning, growth and improvement.

You’ll be expected to assess every learner’s abilities and identify areas for improvement, and tailor teaching methods, advice and resources to maximise the opportunities for progression and development. Committed to establishing and maintaining a positive and inclusive learning environment, and actively promoting learner participation, motivation and confidence, you’ll prepare creative and inspirational lessons, develop appropriate resources and carry out marking and assessments to a high professional standard.

Always ready to support WAES’s Managers and Course Leaders to achieve our targets, you’ll monitor and track your students’ progress though one-to-one sessions and tutorials, and if necessary, make referrals to Learning Support. We’ll also expect you to complete class registers correctly and keep them up to date, apply the appropriate diagnostics to ensure learners are on the correct programme, and maintain a strong focus on attendance, punctuality, retention, achievement and learner progression.

About You:

With recent experience of teaching in a post-16, further education or adult education setting, and well developed knowledge of appropriate teaching strategies, you’ll have a good understanding of online teaching and learning methods and the use of Virtual Learning Environments, or be willing to work towards this.

It goes without saying that you’ll have excellent written and verbal English language skills, and your engaging communication and interpersonal abilities will allow you to work well as a member of a highly collaborative team. It’s important that you’re capable of managing mixed groups of learners, and in addition to experience of devising course outlines and schemes of work, you should have a recognised Level 3 teaching qualification.
