    Default job background
    Description
    Have you ever considered working... in a prison?

    This is an excellent opportunity to educate and rehabilitate adult learners.


    If you would like a unique and challenging non-teaching role, where you can genuinely make a difference, enhance the prospects of learners, and ultimately change people's lives for the better - then this could be the opportunity for you.

    Like any educational setting, Prisons come with their challenges.

    In this environment, learners are locked up for large periods of the day, away from their families and for some, their children.

    Most are at rock bottom, having to live with the regret of what they have done - education gives them a focus.

    And hope.


    Education provides prisoners with an opportunity to upskill, increasing their future employment prospects which directly reduces the likelihood of reoffending.

    Many prisoners will arrive without having basic Maths or English skills.

    Prison Education ensures all learners are put through Functional Skills Maths & English, which then puts them on the pathway to vocational learning courses, such as Carpentry, Bricklaying, Painting & Decorating, Plastering & Tiling, Industrial Cleaning, Barbering, Catering and Horticulture.

    Prisons have a dedicated education department, with classrooms and fully functioning workshops, where teaching and learning can take place. You will be fully supported by an experienced education department. Training and development opportunities are available.

    Details of this position:

    This position is for a Part Time Learning Facilitator to work at a Category C men's prison.

    Work schedule:
    Full time or Part-time

    29.9 hours per week to ensure coverage for LLRC opening times. This may include some weekend and evening duties as required by the prison.

    Salary scale:
    £17, £18,000.00 per annum (prorata for part-time working hours).

    Annual leave: 281.5 hours per annum, inclusive of statutory bank holidays. (pro-rata for part time working hours)

    To be considered, suitable candidates will need to meet the following criteria:

    Good basic general education including GCSE (or) equivalent) in Maths and English at Grade C or above.
    Proven experience in an administrative role.
    Experience of working in a learning environment.
    Competent with technology/strong IT skillsSuitable candidates will need to be enthusiastic, resilient and have a humanistic approach.

    This role will not be for everyone, but anyone with a slight interest is encouraged to apply and if suitable, you will have the opportunity to have a discussion with the hiring manager directly over the phone, who can provide more detail and an insight into life working in a prison.


    The successful candidate will be required to obtain the appropriate prison clearance before starting the role and maintain this throughout employment.
