If you would like to make a positive difference to families in Kent, then we would like to hear from you.

Family Learning is part of Community Learning and Skills in Kent Adult Education, and we deliver a wide variety of engaging and interesting courses to families in the community.

Our aim is to support fathers, mothers and carers to engage in learning, improve their life chances and to enjoy life with their children.

We are recruiting a Skills for Life Lecturer on Permanent Relief contract hours, to deliver a range of Family Learning courses including: Family English, Maths and Language (ESOL) courses in the Ashford, Canterbury, Dover and Thanet areas.

We require a person who is also willing to travel across these areas to meet delivery needs and is flexible to work in the school holidays.

The role of a Family Learning tutor is interesting, enjoyable and above all, hugely rewarding.

Are flexible to teach various hours during the week including evenings and in school holidays (and the very occasional Saturday by prior agreement).

Strong English and Maths skills are required (minimum Level 2 or GCSE Grade C/4) to underpin all delivery, as programmes are mapped to the Adult Core Curriculum and can progress to Functional Skills and Trinity ESOL qualifications.
