Counselling Tutor (part time) - Skills and Learning, Adult Community Education

We are seeking a talented and enthusiastic tutor to deliver both accredited and non-accredited Counselling courses to adults in the BCP and Dorset council areas as well as online.

If you are passionate about counselling and have experience in teaching, we would love to hear from you. We are also interested in hearing from Counsellors who would like to start a career in teaching adults.

As an adult education provider, our courses run throughout the year, during weekdays, evenings and weekends, both in a face‑to‑face setting in one of our centres and online. As a variable‑hours tutor, you will be able to select which courses you teach, but flexibility will be needed. This role is part time and hours will equate to approximately 15 hours per week.

Ofsted judges the service as ‘Good’ overall, and the quality of Information, Advice and Guidance is independently checked and endorsed by Matrix.

• L3 Award in Education and Training or equivalent, or willing to work towards one.
• English and maths qualifications at grade 4/C or above or equivalent.
• Qualified Counsellor at L4 or above or equivalent.

Tutors are expected to adhere to the Professional Standards for Teachers and Trainers developed by the Education and Training Foundation.
