Have you ever considered working… in a prison?
This is an excellent opportunity to educate and rehabilitate adult learners.
If you would like a unique and challenging role, where you can genuinely make a difference, enhance the prospects of learners, and ultimately change people’s lives for the better – then this could be the opportunity for you.
Like any educational setting, Prisons come with their challenges. In this environment, learners are locked up for large periods of the day, away from their families and for some, their children. Most are at rock bottom, having to live with the regret of what they have done – education gives them a focus. And hope.
Education provides prisoners with an opportunity to upskill, increasing their future employment prospects which directly reduces the likelihood of reoffending. Many prisoners will arrive without having basic Maths or English skills. Prison Education ensures all learners are put through Functional Skills Maths & English, which then puts them on the pathway to vocational learning courses, such as Carpentry, Bricklaying, Painting & Decorating, Plastering & Tiling, Industrial Cleaning, Barbering, Catering and Horticulture.
Prisons have a dedicated education department, with classrooms and fully functioning workshops, where teaching and learning can take place. You will be fully supported by an experienced education department. Training and development opportunities are available.
The Role
Based on-site at HMP The Mount you will deliver Carpentry qualifications up to level 2, working with small groups of prison-based learners to develop their skills, knowledge and behaviours while supporting them with their long-term goals and aspirations.
Our Tutors ensure that the appropriate training plans are in place and that the advice and guidance is given when required while ensuring they deliver the highest level of quality courses that engage with the learners and help them to reach their potential.
What are we looking for?
- Level 2 Carpentry qualification
- An expert in your field with substantial vocational experience
- Experience of delivering vocational based training
- A teaching or assessing qualification is desirable.
- Ability to display a wide range of training methods to engage learners.
If you don’t currently hold a teaching or assessing qualification, we are able to support you through the appropriate qualifications and assessments, as part of your probationary period.
What we are looking for
Salary: Up To £35,000
Hours: 37.5
Annual Leave: 30 Days
Because education matters. Dovetail and Slate Limited (11351060) acts as an Employment Agency.
