IN SHORT
MK College Group have an exciting new opportunity for a Business Lecturer to join the team based at HMP Fosse Way, Leicester.
As a Business Teacher, you will be actively engaging prison-based students with creative classes and resources. Many of the students have a diverse range of needs and learning abilities, and they will often have had a negative experience with education. As a successful Teacher, you will truly inspire them and provide students with a positive learning experience.
This role may involve outreach work outside of the main classroom setting. You will be connecting with students in a professional manner, supporting them with their learning, enabling them to achieve success through not only qualifications but developing the confidence and softer skills that they can apply to employment as well as other areas of education.
We are seeking an individual who can communicate well with students to inspire and motivate them. The average class consists of 12 students, supported by a student mentor. The sessions are approximately 3 hours long. Your lessons will need to be adaptable, innovative, and imaginative.
MK College will treat all applicants fairly and with respect, irrespective of their background, disability or any other individual characteristic. We particularly encourage applications from people with backgrounds which are currently under-represented within Milton Keynes College. All offers made to successful candidates are subject to satisfactory outcomes to a range of pre-employment checks including a Disclosure and Barring Service check (DBS). In addition, security clearance is required for all prison services positions up to Counter Terrorist Check (CTC) level.
OUR BENEFITS
* 35 days annual leave, 3 additional company closure days and UK Bank Holidays (entitlement will be pro-rated for part-time employees)
* Professional development opportunities, including professional qualifications
* Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) accessible 24 hours per day, 365 days per year
* A variety of amazing discounts with NUS Card and our reward and recognition platform Encore
