Job role:

We are looking for Functional Skills English and/or Maths teachers with a genuine passion for their subject to join us on a flexible basis to deliver exciting and inspirational lessons meeting curriculum demands across our Surrey Lifeskills faculty.

We would like to create a network of colleagues who we can call upon when we have a need to deliver lessons.  Please detail on your application form your availability and what hours you could offer.

What do you need to be successful in this role?

We are not just looking for good teachers, but for individuals who can act as role models to students and ensure that they leave us with both their desired professional qualifications as well as developing their individual potential as people.

In addition, you will need to have a flexible approach, coupled with excellent organisational and interpersonal skills.

You will also demonstrate the ability to engage and develop students and role model the attributes that we develop within our learners.

What are the benefits of this role?

You will be joining an established and supportive team within our Lifeskills faculty on a casual contract basis. By working in an educational setting, you will have the opportunity to share your skills, develop mentoring and training capabilities and potentially widen your own employment prospects.

We offer a digital induction module and a close-knit community of experts and leaders across the Group to support the sharing of best practice and encourage individual growth. We also have extensive technology in place to develop digital capability. 

Applications are reviewed and shortlisted on a rolling basis and we reserve the right to interview, appoint and close adverts early due to the volume of applications we receive.

We therefore encourage you to apply at the earliest opportunity to avoid disappointment as once we have closed a vacancy you will be unable to submit your application form.
