IN SHORT

MK College Group have an exciting new opportunity for a creative Cover Tutor to join the team based at HMP Maidstone, a Foreign National Prison.

As a Cover Tutor, you will be actively engaging prison-based learners with creative classes and
resources.

You will have experience of working with ESOL learners providing inspirational learning to small groups of learners. Your focus will be on Maths, English, and IT. Many of the learners have a diverse range of needs and learning abilities, they will often have had a negative experience with education.

As a successful Generalist Teacher, you will truly inspire them and provide learners with a positive learning experience. This role will involve outreach work outside of the main classroom setting as well as classroom-based lessons in IT. You will be connecting with learners in a professional manner, supporting them with their learning, enabling them to achieve success through not only qualifications, but developing the confidence and softer skills that they can apply to employment as well as other areas of education.

We are seeking an individual who can communicate well with learners to inspire and motivate them. The
average class consist of 8 learners and the sessions are approximately 3 hours long. Your lessons will need to
be adaptable, innovative, and imaginative.

MK College will treat all applicants fairly and with respect, irrespective of their background, disability, or any other individual characteristic. We particularly encourage applications from people with backgrounds which are currently under-represented within Milton Keynes College.  All offers made to successful candidates are subject to satisfactory outcomes to a range of pre-employment checks including a Disclosure and Barring Service check (DBS).   In addition, security clearance is required for all prison services positions up to Counter Terrorist Check (CTC) level.
