Functional Skills Teacher - English

You’ll plan and deliver creative, learner-centred sessions that engage individuals from a range of backgrounds and abilities. Working alongside the Course Leader and vocational tutors, you’ll help embed English into the wider business curriculum where appropriate. Through thoughtful lesson planning and effective assessment, you’ll guide our learners on their educational journey—ensuring they remain motivated, supported, and on track to succeed.

In addition to teaching, you’ll take responsibility for assessing learners’ starting points and tailoring support to help each person overcome barriers to learning. You’ll provide regular feedback, maintain accurate records of attendance and progress, and contribute to quality processes across the department, such as course reviews and standardisation meetings.

With a strong commitment to inclusion, equality, and professional standards, you’ll help foster a positive and respectful learning environment where every learner feels valued and capable of achieving their potential.
