Liberty Training is an organisation devoted to improving the lives of society's most vulnerable and needy individuals, supporting them to achieve the most in their lives. With our combined knowledge and experience Liberty Training deliver an optimum service to help young people achieve their full potential and make a positive impact on society through our nurturing and supportive Specialist Post-16 College and our soon to be established high school, Liberty High.

The Role

The role of Tutor is to deliver employability and life skills and to assist the training team to provide support for learners in preparation for entering the workplace. You will have an active role in assisting learners on training courses to help them progress into education, employment, training or volunteering. You will be responsible for teaching employability, functional and life skills, often to challenging and disengaged young people who may have learning difficulties.

As a Tutor you will support the team in ensuring the courses are run effectively and the service provided reflects the ethos of the company. You will support the team in ensuring directives and policies are reflected and implemented in everyday practice. You will be accountable to the Deputy Head.

Requirements

Full time Tutors are required to be available for work for up to 195 days per year, Monday to Friday 8:30am – 4:30pm. Part-time Tutors are required to work a proportion of the 195 days appropriate to their contract. The hours of work you will be expected to work will be specified by the Head of College. You are entitled to a 30-minute unpaid lunch break per day.

You must have an outgoing, friendly and confident personality with a positive attitude and a passion for helping others. Our Tutors are motivational speakers, inspirers, and energisers who broaden horizons and break down barriers to progression. We have a holistic approach to training young people, helping them wherever possible with the challenges that life may throw at them, and to join our team, you would need the same outlook.

We are offering brand new courses to young people, and any applicant should have ideas for fun engaging activities. We are looking for someone with innovative ideas that steer away from traditional teaching methods. At Liberty, we have a client centred approach and are looking for someone with the same philosophy.

We are a small team, with an ‘all hands on deck’ approach, so when you are not teaching, you may be asked to assist the team in other areas.
