About the role

You'll work within the English and maths team to deliver learning for our 16-19 study programmes, apprentices, and also adult learners - supporting their individual learning needs and monitoring their progress across our College sites. You'll plan the delivery of Maths lessons, monitor and focus on the key aspects of attendance and engagement, and you will also fully engage with and carry out all safeguarding responsibilities as required by the role. 

Whilst this will primarily be classroom based, we also require candidates to have the digital skills to deliver effective lessons using a range of online resources and platforms (for example Microsoft teams or Blackboard).
