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 Family Learning Lecturer on a Permanent Relief contract, to deliver a range of Family Learning courses including: Family English, Maths and Language (ESOL) courses in the Maidstone, Ashford and Sittingbourne areas.

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