You will need patience, passion and understanding in your approach to our learners who 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.

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.

Willingness to gain an Award in Education & Training
Commitment to gain an assessor award required by relevant awarding bodies
Hold at least a Level 2 qualification in Literacy and Numeracy or be willing to commit to gaining the qualification(s) within 1 year.

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
