Job description

Are you currently working in education and looking for a new challenge? Are you passionate about making a difference to the lives of people, the lives of their families and to make a positive contribution to their local community? Would you like the opportunity to teach smaller group sizes so that your delivery can have a greater impact? Do you want a rewarding career with opportunities for progression where you will experience genuine job satisfaction?

The LTE Group is a national, public-sector learning, training, and education organisation with a clearly defined mission to 'improve lives and economic success through learning and skills.

Our 4,000 valued colleagues drive our delivery of specialist learning to over 100,000 learners in over 120 UK locations, across our six businesses.

We have a great opportunity to join our Education team as a Catering Trainer for Novus, the prison education provider at HMP Wealstun. This role is offered on a permanent, full-time basis working 37 hrs per week.

What the role entails

In this role, you will work with, and be supported by, our amazing team of dedicated professionals to mentor our learners to develop Catering skills, which will in turn help them to secure future employment opportunities post release.

You will need patience, passion and understanding in your approach to our learners who have 'hit a bump in the road' but want to learn and improve.

Working in a prison is different to a mainstream education facility.

We operate with security at the forefront of what we do, so our class sizes are small to maximise supportive delivery.

To aid this you also will be supported by Learning Support Practitioners who will support with one to one when required.

Our security team are on hand to ensure the lessons run smoothly. We always try to cater to a learner's individual needs and ensure we create a positive learner experience.

Time will be given to planning and your Local Education Manager is always on hand to provide support as and when needed.

Delivery happens between Monday and Friday and weekends are strictly for rest and relaxation.

What we need from you
To be successful in the role of Catering Trainer, you will need:

Significant Catering service experience.
A flexible approach to working in a fastpaced environment
Excellent interpersonal skills
The ability to track and monitor learner progress against course criteria.
Willingness to gain an Award in Education & Training
A Level 2 qualification in catering or hospitality, or a willingness to gain one
Commitment to gain an assessor award required by relevant awarding bodies
Hold at least a Level 1 qualification in Literacy and Numeracy or be willing to commit to gaining the qualification(s) within 1 year.
Gain, hold and maintain a clean, enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check

Ideally, you will want to be a part of a team which has at its core a focus on improving lives and enabling and equipping learners to develop, grow and be equipped for a life of work and success.

You'll be a self-starter with a passion to learn and grow yourself and will bring passion, dedication and positivity to your new role.

As part of the LTE Group family, you will benefit from an excellent package including:

Extensive annual leave which can be taken throughout the year and not restricted to school holiday times
Monday to Friday working pattern
Our inhouse 'Evolve' training programme, which offers you the chance to upskill and further your career through a wide range of recognised qualifications
