Are you an English or Maths Tutor who wants more than just another classroom?

This is a rare and rewarding opportunity to use your teaching skills where they have a genuine, life-changing impact
. Working within a prison education environment, you’ll support learners to gain essential qualifications, rebuild confidence, and take meaningful steps towards employment and a positive future.

As a specialist recruiter in education, I can confidently say this is one of those roles where you’ll see the difference you make every single day
.

You’ll be delivering City & Guilds Functional Skills in Maths or English from Entry Level 1 to Level 2, working with small groups of motivated learners (typically up to 12 per class).

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all teaching role — you’ll be working with individuals from diverse educational backgrounds, many of whom are rediscovering learning for the first time in years.

Your role will include:

• Delivering engaging Functional Skills lessons (Entry 1 – Level
  2)
• Conducting initial assessments and using BKSB diagnostics to identify starting points
• Creating and maintaining Individual Learning Plans (ILPs)
• Planning creative, impactful lessons that drive progression
• Supporting learners with additional needs and reasonable adjustments
• Monitoring learner progress and preparing them for exams
• Embedding literacy, numeracy, and reading for enjoyment into your teaching
• Collaborating with prison staff and wider support teams to maximise outcomes

We’re keen to speak with passionate, resilient educators who believe in second chances and the power of education.

• Level 3 qualification in Maths and English
• A recognised teaching qualification (Level 5+ such as PGCE, Cert Ed, DTLLS) or willingness to work towards
• Experience delivering Functional Skills Maths or English
• Strong classroom management and lesson planning skills
• Ability to engage and motivate diverse learners
• Excellent organisational and communication skills
• Commitment to safeguarding, inclusion and learner success
• Experience in prison education, adult learning or FE
• Familiarity with BKSB or similar tools
• Understanding of Ofsted EIF
• IQA qualification (or willingness to work towards)

This isn’t just education — it’s rehabilitation through learning
.

You’ll be part of a wider mission focused on:

• Supporting individuals to gain skills for employment
• Tackling the root causes of offending behaviour
• Building confidence, self-worth and future aspirations
• Creating pathways into sustainable careers

Prison education plays a vital role in reducing re-offending by equipping learners with practical skills, qualifications, and a renewed sense of purpose — and you’ll be right at the heart of that journey.

• A highly rewarding teaching environment where no two days are the same
• Small class sizes and the ability to truly impact individuals
• Ongoing professional development and career progression
• The chance to be part of a supportive, mission-driven team
• A role where your work genuinely changes lives

If you’re an educator who thrives on challenge, believes in inclusion, and wants a role with real purpose — this could be the perfect next step.
