The role requires the successful candidate to provide high-quality learning programs to 16‑18 year olds in Foundation Learning, across different levels of further education. In addition to delivering engaging one‑on‑one and group tutorial sessions, the candidate will be responsible for delivering Digital Skills lessons and Vocational Sport sessions to one of the Access groups, as well as undertaking program leadership and administrative duties.
