About the role:

Activate Learning are now looking for enthusiastic and inspiring teacher to join our Lifestyles team at Reading College on a permanent basis.

  • Level 3 or above qualification in English or relevant qualification is essential.
  • It is desirable if you have a teaching qualification and worked within education as a teacher.

Your communication and interpersonal skills will be outstanding and support your ability to deliver interesting and purposeful lessons to a diverse range of learners. You will also have strong organisation skills coupled with the ability to prioritise workloads and will benefit from being part of a supportive team, working in a varied and interesting role with a variety of opportunities for career development.
