Learning Services Tutor; Hair & Beauty

Job Title: Adult Education Tutor

Salary: £13.26, £14.82 or £16.35 depending on the role (plus 14.49% sessional uplift)

Hours: Flexible / By Agreement

Location: Worcestershire (Currently Worcester and Redditch bases)

Contract Type: Sessional

Learning Services Worcestershire is expanding its Young Adult Learning (YAL) provision and is seeking enthusiastic sessional staff to deliver Hair and/or Beauty within Study Programmes for learners aged 16–24. The role focuses on supporting young people to build confidence, develop practical skills and progress into employment or further learning within a supportive, inclusive environment.

Hair and Beauty is primarily delivered within our employment‑focused Young Adult Learning Study Programmes. All YAL learners work towards an accredited qualification embedded within their wider programme. At Level 1 learners achieve a qualification in SETPD, which includes subject‑specific Hair and/or Beauty units along with core units in personal development, employability and preparing for adulthood. Delivery typically takes place in a salon‑style learning environment.

Learners may then progress to industry‑recognised qualifications such as VTCT, supporting progression into employment, apprenticeships or further learning. The curriculum also includes an adult (19+) offer, delivering VTCT Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications. Many learners have experienced disrupted education and may have a range of additional needs; small group sizes, flexible curriculum and strong pastoral support create a safe and engaging environment.

Tutors – £14.82 per hour

Plan and deliver high‑quality Hair and/or Beauty sessions primarily within YAL provision, supporting learners to achieve their SETPD qualification and develop practical and employability skills.

Senior Tutors – £16.35 per hour

Alongside teaching, contribute to curriculum planning, quality improvement and the mentoring of colleagues.
