This is an exciting new role in an “outstanding” college. We need a suitably qualified and experienced adult educator who specialises in Literacy and is able to contribute to developments across the college.

We are expanding this post from 0.5 on the retirement of the previous post-holder. Half the week will continue to be spent teaching Study Skills and offering additional support to individuals on our Access to HE course (reading, writing and possibly language). In addition you will take on the short residential courses we have developed leading to the National Literacy Test.

We are planning major changes to the curriculum for 09/10. Functional skills will be central to this, so you will have a key role in helping us make the change.

Skills for Life was judged “good” at our last inspection, which isn’t good enough in a college which is otherwise “outstanding”. As the only Literacy specialist you will work with our Skills for Life Co-ordinator (a Maths specialist) to embed Skills for Life across the college.

This is a rare opportunity to join our permanent teaching staff and really make a difference.
