Job Description

Make a Difference Every Day

\n

Do you believe that education can change lives?

\n

We are looking for an enthusiastic, resilient and committed Skills Builder Tutor to join our education team at HMYOI Werrington. This is a unique opportunity to support young people aged 15-18 to develop the skills, confidence and aspirations they need to succeed in education, employment and life.

\n

Working with learners who may have experienced disrupted education, SEND needs or barriers to learning, you will deliver engaging and creative programmes that develop literacy, numeracy, personal development, citizenship and employability skills.

\n

No two days are the same. One day you could be helping a young person achieve their first qualification, the next you could be supporting them to build confidence, develop life skills and discover a new passion for learning.
