IN SHORT

MK College Group have an exciting new opportunity for an Open University/Distance Learning Support Tutor, to join the team based at HMP Fosse Way, Leicester. 

As an Open University Support Tutor, you will be actively engaging with prison-based students who are developing their skills to enable them to apply for an Open University degree or with students who are already registered and studying with the Open University.  Their flexible learning may be with other Distance Learning providers as well as the Open University.  Many of the students have a diverse range of needs and learning abilities, they will often have had a negative experience with education. As a successful Open University Support Teacher, you will truly inspire them and provide students with a positive learning experience.

This role may involve outreach work outside of the main classroom setting.  You will work with students in a group setting as well as in a 1:1 setting.  You will be connecting with students in a professional manner, supporting them with their learning, enabling them to achieve success through not only qualifications, but developing the confidence and softer skills that they can apply to employment as well as other areas of education.

We are seeking an individual who can communicate well with students to inspire and motivate them.  You will work with your education colleagues to ensure that Open University students have access to appropriate resources and ICT as necessary.  Your work will also include liaison with the Open University.

MK College will treat all applicants fairly and with respect, irrespective of their background, disability or any other individual characteristic. We particularly encourage applications from people with backgrounds which are currently under-represented within Milton Keynes College.  All offers made to successful candidates are subject to satisfactory outcomes to a range of pre-employment checks including a Disclosure and Barring Service check (DBS).   In addition, security clearance is required for all prison services positions up to Counter Terrorist Check (CTC) level.
