We are looking for inspirational tutors to deliver learning to adults, both online and face to face in the north and south west of Surrey.
Surrey Adult Learning delivered over 3600 courses last year and employs over 300 part time tutors. The role is focused on teaching, inspiring and supporting adult learners to successfully complete their course/qualification and progress towards achieving higher level skills.
We offer a wide range of courses including English & maths, ESOL, Arts & Crafts, Languages, Exercise & Dance, Humanities, Work Skills & IT and Cookery. In addition, we have specific courses run by our Supported Learning, Family Learning, Outreach and Passport to Wellbeing teams.
We offer a competitive hourly rate of £21.36 per hour for most courses, and £25.63 per hour for courses leading to a qualification. In addition, we pay a 15% annual leave entitlement. These rates include preparation time and travelling.
Contractual benefits include a teacher's pension scheme, continual professional development and discounted Surrey Adult Learning courses. A DBS 'Disclosure and Barring Service' check is required for this role and will be discussed further at interview.
This is a zero hours (bank) contract. The amount of work you are offered will depend on our programme and on your availability for day, evening and Saturday classes.
Courses are being delivered face to face and online. Classroom delivery is mainly for our more practical subjects in our seven main centres in Guildford, Camberley, Farnham, Woking, Esher Green, Sunbury and Molesey.
You will need to hold a professional UK teaching qualification (minimum of Level 3 Award in Education & Training), although for some subjects we will consider applicants who are able to demonstrate that they are working towards a qualification. You will also have qualifications/ expertise in your subject area, a love of your subject and a passion for teaching.
You will need to demonstrate a commitment to providing excellent learning opportunities for your learners; experience of teaching adults both in a classroom environment and online is desirable, but not essential. You will be able to adapt teaching and learning strategies and select resources as appropriate in order to meet learner needs. You will be supported by a professional and experienced line manager.
Our tutors ensure that learners are provided with the support to develop and progress their skills, confidence and employment opportunities through a range of teaching and learning.
