IN SHORT
Are you passionate about your industry skills? Would you like to share your knowledge with others?
MK College Group have an exciting new opportunity for a passionate and engaging Welding Tutor to join the team based at HMP Rochester; a prison undergoing a period of expansion due to the recent merger with the adjacent prison, Cookham Wood - there really is no better time to join us!
As a Welding Tutor, you will be actively engaging prison-based learners through the delivery of creative classes and engaging resources. The course is City and Guilds Level 1, with extension and enhancement developing Level 2 skills built into the learning time. The learners have access to MIG and TIG welding and a range of rods and materials in various diameters and gauges. There are 8 learners to a group and full safety measures and work areas. Each learner has their own welding bay.
Many of the learners have a diverse range of needs and learning abilities and they will often have had a negative experience with education. As a successful Welding Tutor, you will be an effective communicator, able to motivate and provide learners with a positive learning experience that can make a difference, not only within their present situation, but also in the future. Ideally, you will also hold an IQA qualification (or be prepared to work towards) and will support in quality assuring learner work across the construction teaching team.
This role will involve working with learners from all backgrounds within a classroom environment. You will be connecting with learners 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.
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.

About Hmp Rochester
HMP Rochester is a Category C prison, holding approximately 950 adult male sentenced offenders across two sites.
The main site of HMP Rochester is located on the site of the eponymous “borstal” and many of the original structures and buildings remain, including the recognisable clock tower and gate lodge. The prison marked its 150-year anniversary this year, in commemoration of its rich and vibrant history, initially as a young offenders’ institute and in later years, an adult only establishment. It has seen numerous extensions over the years, making it one of the larger prisons in the area, with sprawling grounds and a wide range of facilities. Having recently merged with the smaller adjacent prison, formerly the youth justice facility known as Cookham Wood, Rochester has undergone an exciting period of expansion that has created new opportunities for both staff and the prison population.
HMP Rochester’s focus is firmly fixed on reducing reoffending and preventing future victims of crime by preparing offenders for their release through accredited intervention programmes, skill and vocational based training and education, in a pro social environment. Both sites offer a multitude of opportunities for offenders to engage in purposeful activity across many areas.
Courses at HMP Rochester include Maths, English, IT, catering, art, mentoring and training, construction skills and much more. Prisoners are supported to gain qualifications and to develop the skills and knowledge that prepare them for a productive, crime-free life outside the establishment and our staff are an essential part of the journey.
The education delivery hours are Monday to Thursday 8.45am - 11.30am, 1.45pm - 4.30pm and on Fridays 8.45am - 11.30am, with staff working on-site 8:15am - 4:45pm each day and 8:15am - 1:15pm on Fridays. Class sizes typically range from 8-12 learners.
Located a short distance from the M2 and the M20, HMP Rochester stands proud on the hill with outstanding views out over the North Downs and surrounded by the beautiful Kent countryside. There is plentiful free on-site parking available to all staff and on-site facilities include gyms and fitness classes, a library and freshly made barista coffee.
HMP Rochester is undergoing an exciting period of expansion which has created additional roles within this dynamic and innovative team.
