South East, United Kingdom Dovetail and Slate Full time
Have you ever considered teaching... in a prison?
If you would like a unique and challenging teaching role, where you can genuinely make a difference, enhance the prospects of your learners, and ultimately change people's lives for the better - then this could be the opportunity for you.
Like any educational setting, Prisons come with their challenges. In this environment, learners are locked up for large periods of the day, away from their families and for some, their children. Most are at rock bottom, having to live with the regret of what they have done - education gives them a focus and hope.
Education provides prisoners with an opportunity to upskill, increasing their future employment prospects which directly reduces the likelihood of reoffending. Many prisoners will arrive without having basic Maths or English skills. Prison Education ensures all learners are put through Functional Skills Maths & English, which then puts them on the pathway to vocational learning courses, such as Carpentry, Bricklaying, Painting & Decorating, Plastering & Tiling, Industrial Cleaning, Barbering, Catering and Horticulture.
Prisons have a dedicated education department, with classrooms and fully functioning workshops, where teaching and learning can take place. You will be fully supported by an experienced education department. Training and development opportunities are available.
Details of this position:
This position is for a Full Time English Programme Manager working in a prison education dpeartment.
The role will involve working closely with the Deputy Education Manager to ensure all maths related courses and qualifications are running effectively with an emphasis on supporting staff and high quality teaching.
Work schedule: Monday to Friday - 37.5 hours per week
Salary scale: up to £38,000
Location: Isle of Sheppey
Benefits of the role:
35 days annual leave, 3 additional days leave for Christmas to New Year closure and UK Bank Holidays
Generous Pension Scheme
Professional development opportunities, including professional qualifications.
Employee Assistance Programme
Employee wellbeing platform with options to book free activities
Suitable candidates will need to be enthusiastic, resilient and have a humanistic approach. This role will not be for everyone, but anyone with a slight interest is encouraged to apply and if suitable, you will have the opportunity to have a discussion with the hiring manager directly over the phone, who can provide more detail and an insight into life working in a prison.

Alternatively, you can contact Ellie to discuss the role in further detail.
