• Provide literacy support for learners who need additional help and encourage a love of reading for personal growth.
• Integrate practical digital and employability skills into lessons to help learners transition into work or further study.
• Plan activities for peer mentors, supervise their support in sessions, and ensure a collaborative learning environment.
• Complete all administrative tasks, including attendance, enrolment, ILPs, exam arrangements, and progress reviews.
• Work closely with Careers Advisors, Learning Support Practitioners, and prison staff to support learners with diverse needs and track their progress.

• Minimum Level 2 in Maths & English.
• Clear understanding of the OFSTED framework and expectations.
• Ability to inspire, motivate, and manage challenging situations calmly and professionally.
