IN SHORT
Do you have skills and experience with Forklift Trucks, Manual Handling Equipment, and Warehousing and looking for a career change?
Have you ever considered using your experience to educate and inspire others?
Have you ever thought of a career in Prison Education?
MK College Group is offering an exciting opportunity for a passionate individual to join our team as a Forklifting and Warehousing Instructor at HMP Erlestoke. This role involves delivering FLT, MHE, and Warehousing qualifications at Levels 1 and 2 to small groups of learners within a secure environment.
A teaching/training/instructing qualification is desirable but not essential. If you hold an industry-recognised forklift qualification and are willing to work towards a teaching qualification, we will support your development.
As a successful FLT and Warehousing Instructor with us, you will inspire learners and provide a positive, supportive learning experience. Your role will focus on helping them achieve qualifications, building their confidence, and developing soft skills for employment and further education.
We’re looking for someone with strong communication skills who can motivate and engage learners. Classes typically consist of three students, supported by a workshop technician and prison mentors. Each session lasts around three hours, allowing for meaningful and adaptable lessons.
MK College is committed to fairness and respect, welcoming applicants from diverse backgrounds. We encourage applications from under-represented groups. All offers are subject to pre-employment checks, including a DBS and security clearance up to CTC level.
OUR BENEFITS
* 35 days annual leave, plus 3 days for Christmas to New Year closure and UK Bank Holidays (pro-rated for part-time)
* Professional development opportunities, including qualifications relevant to the role
* Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) available 24/7
* Discounts with NUS Card
