12-Month Fixed Term Contract

MK College Group have an exciting new opportunity for a creative ESOL Lecturer, to join the team based at HMP Fosse Way, Leicester, on a 12 month FTC.

As an ESOL Lecturer, you will be actively engaging prison‑based students with creative classes and
resources. Many of the students have a diverse cultural and language background and need to acquire basic English speaking, reading and writing skills to access support in prison and aid resettlement.

This role may involve outreach work outside of the main classroom setting. You will be connecting with students in a professional manner, supporting them with their learning, enabling them to achieve success through not only qualifications, but developing the confidence and softer skills that they can apply to employment as well as other areas of education.

We are seeking an individual who can communicate well with students to inspire and motivate them. The
average class consists of 12 students, supported by a student mentor. The sessions are approximately 3 hours long. Your lessons will need to be adaptable, innovative, and imaginative.
