Overview:

Are you passionate about teaching adults and want a rewarding role? We are looking for an experienced Basic Skills tutor to join our team at Bucks Adult Learning.

About us:

In April 2020 Buckinghamshire Council became the UK's newest council and the residents of Buckinghamshire will be served by a single, unitary council.

Buckinghamshire is an ambitious, rapidly growing county, and our economy is one of the strongest in the country. It is an area of outstanding natural beauty and ranks as one of the top rural areas to live in the UK and yet it is incredibly well connected
- only an hour from London on the train. The county has a rich history and heritage and is the birthplace of the international Paralympic movement.

We are looking for motivated, ambitious and inspiring people to join us on our journey.

Not only will you be an integral part of the unique and exciting transition through the unitary process, you will also be entitled to a range of different benefits to make sure you are happy both at work and at home.

About the role:

Some of the main responsibilities of the role will include:

Planning and delivering learning activities which enable individual students to develop their skills, knowledge and understanding and to achieve their aspirations (approx. 24 hours teaching)
Preparing relevant, effective and challenging assessments and assignments and providing regular feedback to learners on their learning so that all learners make good progress relevant to their starting point, they know how well they are doing, what they need to do to improve and are able to develop their own skills of selfassessment
Using Information Learning Technology (ILT) effectively in the classroom, where appropriate.
Completing all necessary paperwork and administrative tasks including registers, schemes of work, lesson plans, assessments, records of student work, etc. within the required time frames
Providing next steps information and advice, through induction, tutorials, course content and signposting, in order to support all learners to make informed choices about progression routes e.g. volunteering, employment or education, based on their needs, interests and circumstances.

Please see job description for further details.

About you:

Possess substantial experience of teaching adults (Everyday English, maths, digital and wellbeing )
Understand OFSTED and ESFA requirements
Can demonstrate excellent communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to engage effectively with a range of audiences and explain specialist information in a way which a nonspecialist can understand.
