What is the job role?
2 x Full Time, 12-month Fixed Term positions available.
Coventry City Council’s Adult Education Service is committed to delivering high-quality, inclusive learning opportunities that improve lives and strengthen communities. This is an opportunity for appropriately qualified, passionate and adaptable candidates to join the enthusiastic, committed and experienced Coventry Adult Education Service ESOL team. We deliver high quality, English Language Acquisition programmes to men and women from a range of cultural backgrounds across Coventry. These tutors posts are for our new First Steps ESOL project which focuses on engaging residents who have beginner/pre-Entry - Entry 1 level English language skills to start their language learning journey.
Course content will focus on English language aligned to the Home Office Indicators of Integration Framework such as housing, work, education, health & social care and leisure as well as assisting learners to access support from organisations across Coventry. There will be a strong focus on taking the learning outside the classroom through enrichment activities, visitors and learning language in context.
Delivery will take place in community venues such as Family Hubs, libraries, schools, VCS organisations and outreach locations. Travel between teaching delivery sites is standard. Delivery will be year-round and courses will therefore run in the school holidays. This is not a term time only role/position.
All candidates must have the Right to Work in the UK. We are currently not offering sponsorship for this role.
This post is exempted under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act and as such appointment to this post will be conditional upon the receipt of a satisfactory response to a check of police records via Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
Who are we looking for?
You will have relevant teaching and ESOL subject specific qualifications eg Level 4/5 CELTA/TESOL, DTLLS/DET/DIT (ESOL) as well as experience delivering adult learning in community settings and strong communication and organisational skills. In addition, you will have the ability to engage diverse ESOL learners including individuals with diagnosed or suspected additional learning needs and a commitment to inclusive education. Due to the level of the project, experience of supporting pre-literate ESOL learners would be highly beneficial.
