Are you looking for a highly rewarding teaching role where you can use your passion for language and communication to change lives? We are recruiting for an English Tutor to join a leading training and education provider within a secure custodial setting. In this role, you will work with small, focused groups of adult learners, helping them develop essential English skills, build confidence, and work toward their long‑term personal and career goals.

What You Will Be Doing

  • Delivery Skills: Experience delivering training, teaching, or mentoring individuals.
  • Adaptability: The ability to use diverse training methods to effectively engage and support learners who may have experienced educational disadvantages.
