Are you passionate about supporting young adults and confident to deliver training to groups of mixed abilities? Do you have the confidence and empathy to deliver engaging, hands‑on courses in a welcoming, inclusive environment?

An exciting opportunity is available for an Employability Course Tutor to deliver a series of four‑week courses for young adults (aged 17‑21) which will help them build confidence, gain practical skills, and take steps towards work, volunteering, or further learning.

This role is ideal for a qualified tutor with a background in adult education and would suit someone who understands how to work flexibly and sensitively with young adults from a wide range of backgrounds.

You’ll be working as part of the Community Learning and South Bristol Youth Guarantee project team to support young adults to explore their career and education options whilst building their self‑belief and sense of achievement.

• A recognised teaching qualification (minimum Level 3, such as PTLLS/AET)
• Confidence using digital tools and systems for teaching and communication
• Strong classroom management and communication skills
• A calm, positive and inclusive approach to working with people
• Awareness of trauma‑informed practice, safeguarding, equality and health & safety
