Generalist Tutor- HMP

Location:

the East Midlands
Salary:
From £30,000 per annum
Are you an adaptable, passionate educator looking for a role where no two days are the same?
About the Role
We are recruiting a Generalist Tutor to join the education team of an education provider in the justice sector, delivering engaging sessions across a range of subjects within a prison education setting. You'll provide high-quality cover and deliver core learning to small groups of adult learners with a wide range of educational backgrounds, learning needs and abilities.
Many of your learners will have had difficult experiences of education, so patience, empathy and a genuine belief in each individual's potential will matter as much as your subject knowledge. This is a varied, high-impact role for someone who can think on their feet and adapt delivery to whatever the day brings.
Your responsibilities will include:
Planning and delivering engaging, inclusive lessons across a range of subjects, tailoring content to small groups of learners with varied abilities and backgrounds.

Embedding literacy, numeracy, digital skills and employability naturally into everyday learning to support progression.

Assessing learners' starting points, constructing Individual Learning Plans and tracking progress accurately.

Acting as a positive role model, identifying barriers to learning and working with support teams to promote learner wellbeing.

Maintaining accurate attendance registers and records, and adhering strictly to security protocols within the prison environment.

What We're Looking For
Essential:
A strong Level 3 foundation in Maths and English

Proven experience delivering teaching or training, with strong classroom management and adaptive delivery skills

Resilience, strong administrative capability and a genuine commitment to engaging learners in a secure environment

Desirable (but not essential):
A Level 5 teaching qualification (PGCE, Cert Ed or equivalent) — candidates without one, but willing to work towards it, are fully encouraged to apply

Prior experience in prison education, FE or adult learning settings

Familiarity with diagnostic tools such as BKSB

If you're ready to bring your versatility and commitment to a role where your teaching genuinely changes lives, we'd love to hear from you.
