THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF CAROL’S LIFE-CHANGING JOURNEY

As the educational arm of Westminster City Council, Westminster Adult Education Service (WAES) is a world of extraordinary stories. From Childcare & Early Years Education to ESOL, and from Accounting and Digital to the Creative Arts and more, WAES’s courses offer unparalleled opportunities to grow, develop and acquire new skills. People like Carol work to help everyone in our diverse communities to achieve their potential and transform their lives.

Carol left a music industry career back in the 80s, to volunteer in a local nursery. It changed her life. Now she’s managing a team to help create life-changing opportunities for children and families across Westminster and beyond. She’s never looked back. She loves working in, and for the benefit of, her local community.

From volunteering to getting a job in a nursery, to studying and becoming a Childcare Development lecturer, to joining Westminster City Council back in 1989, Carol has always seized every chance to keep learning and progressing. And now, she encourages her team to do the same. She puts her heart into enabling people’s development. That’s why Carol and Westminster are so well suited.

We’re all about nurturing people too.

Carol’s immensely proud of her team, many of whom joined as learners. They have qualified and progressed. And they’ve achieved an Outstanding Ofsted grading together. She’s also proud that WAES can give opportunities to local people with potential.

Just as enthused and ambitious now as she was 35 years ago, there are still goals Carol wants to achieve for her team, for learners, children and families. With Westminster, she’s in exactly the right place to keep doing that.

As an English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) Community Tutor with the Community and Cultural Learning team at Westminster Adult Education Service (WAES) you can make your own powerful contribution to our success. Providing imaginative and creative teaching and learning experiences for our learners, and tracking, monitoring and assessing their work and progress in line with qualification specifications and awarding body requirements, you’ll maintain a strong focus on maximising their results, outcomes and progression.

Providing expert and professional advice, guidance and support to every learner you teach, and achieving our targets by supporting the work of Course Leaders and Managers, you’ll use the appropriate diagnostics to ensure learners are on the correct programme, work with them at tutorials and one-to-one sessions and, if necessary, make referrals to your colleagues in Learning Support.

Planning and producing imaginative and inspirational schemes of work, you’ll ensure that all your lessons are well prepared, suitable resources are developed, marking and assessment is carried out to a high standard and course files are maintained correctly. Completing class registers on time and keeping them up to date, we’ll also expect you to monitor the attendance and punctuality of each learner with a view to maintaining high levels of retention and achievement.

And should anyone withdraw from a course or request a transfer, you’ll make sure this is done in accordance with agreed timescales.

To be a success as one of our ESOL Community Tutors you should have well developed experience of teaching in a post-16, further…
