Making A Difference as a Sessional Tutor with Adult and Community Learning (ACL)
The Adult and Community Learning team wishes to recruit a focused and committed tutor, with experience of delivering ESOL qualification courses, as soon as possible.
Working under the direction of the Adult Skills Development Manager, the post holder will be responsible for the design and delivery of quality ESOL programmes. Key duties include planning, delivery and assessment of courses which lead to qualifications for adult ESOL learners.
• ESOL classes range from pre-entry level to entry 3. There will be a minimum of 4 classes per week across this range of levels, plus paid time for meetings and additional continuous professional development (CPD) hours.
There will generally be no more than 9 learners per class and classes will be levelled to ensure that the ability range is manageable, and tutors can focus on learner needs.
We are interested in talking to experienced tutors, suitably qualified in their subject, who are learner-focused, diligent with paperwork and keen to progress learners in a community learning environment.
In return for your commitment, we can offer you a position in a friendly and committed team, with a competitive salary and an annual programme of CPD opportunities.
