THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF MOHAMMED'S INSPIRATIONAL JOURNEY

As the educational arm of Westminster City Council, Westminster Adult Education Service (WAES) is a world of extraordinary stories. From ESOL, English, Maths and Digital to Accounting, Community Learning, Childcare and Teaching and Languages to the Creative Arts and Culture, WAES's courses offer unparalleled opportunities to grow, develop and acquire new skills.

People like Mohammed work to inspire our residents to achieve their goals and enrich their lives through a huge range of stimulating and transformative learning experiences.

When he was 16 Mohammed came to London from a small town in the south of France and dived straight into the world of work. Once he'd found his feet and established himself, he decided he wanted to do some volunteering work and give something back to the community that had supported him on his first steps in the big city, so he approached WAES.

They offered him a couple of hours a week for a few months, and he enjoyed it so much that when a temporary job in HR became available, he applied for it and was successful.

Fast forward a few years, and Mohammed is now working as a Funding and Compliance Manager, full time in the Management Information System department, and using his experience to encourage and inspire a new generation of Westminster citizens. As a member of the Kurdish community, he knows how difficult it can be to develop the skills, learnings and confidence to establish yourself in a new environment and is committed to sharing the story of his amazing journey, using it to illustrate how WAES can be a catalyst for positive growth and change.

Mohammed sees potential in everyone he meets, and is dedicated to encouraging people to grasp the opportunities they're offered with both hands. And WAES is at the heart of Westminster's commitment to helping everyone in our diverse communities to achieve their potential and transform their lives.

As an Accounting Course Leader with Westminster Adult Education Service (WAES) you can make your own powerful contribution to our communities. The service offers high quality learning, training and qualifications to people across our borough, and when you join us you'll use the Mindful Education platform to deliver learning for Level 2 and 3 courses, monitor your students' engagement and progress, and help to develop course files and the professional pathways curriculum.

Providing timely and accurate course information for our self‑assessment and development plans, you'll also monitor enrolment, retention, attendance, punctuality and progression, and initiate any necessary interventions.

You'll have a wide range of additional responsibilities – these include undertaking the diagnostic assessment of students, identifying individual needs and referring to support colleagues if required, and ensuring that all learners have appropriate individual study plans. We’ll also expect you to prepare course outlines, schemes of work and lesson plans, identify the materials and equipment you’ll need, teach tutorials, help to plan and schedule exams for Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) courses, and produce assessments of each learner's work.

But your work won’t stop there – you'll ensure learners have participated in surveys that gauge their views, take part in the sharing of good practice with other tutors, undertake appropriate training and keep up to date with curriculum developments in your subject area. Committed to complying with all relevant Health & Safety regulations, we’ll also expect you to promote equal opportunities policies in the classroom, throughout the syllabus and in all your relationships with our organisation.
