The part-time posts will require inspiring tutors who have extensive knowledge of delivering one or more of the subjects.

They will teach to members of the public who are looking to upskill to enhance their opportunities for work, they will require patience, understanding and the ability to plan programmes that run across multiple subject areas.

Saturdays are required at various points throughout the year e. g. during October when we take part in the national Family Learning Festival.

Close teamwork within all curriculum areas including English and Maths, will be critical to the post, as well as supporting within other tailored learning programmes across a wide range of subjects.

Candidates who demonstrate other specialist subject areas will deliver in those aspects of curriculum too.
