About the Role

A further education provider in the region is looking for a Functional Skills Lecturer to join its teaching team. You'll deliver Functional Skills English and Maths to post-16 learners of varying abilities, helping them close gaps in their knowledge and achieve the qualifications they need for work and further study.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Planning and delivering engaging, accessible Functional Skills English and Maths lessons.
  • Preparing schemes of work, lesson resources and assessments.
  • Assessing learners' work and providing timely, constructive feedback on their progress.
  • Supporting learners with gaps in knowledge, building their confidence and motivation.
  • Maintaining accurate records of attendance, achievement and progress.
  • Working collaboratively with curriculum and learner support colleagues.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • Experience of teaching or supporting learners in English and/or Maths
  • A relevant qualification or subject background in English and/or Maths
  • Strong classroom management and learner engagement skills

Desirable (but not essential):

  • A recognised teaching qualification
  • Experience of delivering Functional Skills within further education

If you're ready to help learners gain the English and Maths skills that open doors, we'd love to hear from you.
