About this opportunity
We require a tutor to teach Employability and Health and Care/Wellbeing courses to adult learners in Barrow and the surrounding area. We offer an extensive range of courses to the communities of Barrow, and the right candidate will offer interesting and engaging provision to support the growth of the Service. The role will involve delivering accredited qualifications, particularly in areas such as Mental Health Awareness, Resilience and Grit, and Employability.
