**We **have a great opportunity to join our education team as a Cover Tutor for Novus, the prison education provider working at the **region of Cumbria & Lancashire: HMP Preston, HMP Wymott, HMP Lancaster Farms, HMP Kirkham and HMP Haverigg. The role can be based predominantly at HMP Preston.**

**What the role entails**

In this role, you will work with, and be supported by, our amazing team of dedicated professionals to mentor our learners to develop their reading, writing, speaking, and listening, which will in turn help them to secure future employment opportunities post-release. You will need patience, passion and understanding in your approach to our learners who have ‘hit a bump in the road’ but want to learn and improve.

Working in a prison is different to a mainstream education facility. We operate with security at the forefront of what we do, so our class sizes are small to maximise supportive delivery. To aid this you also will be supported by Learning Support Practitioners & Student Support Workers who will support with one to one when required. Our security team are on hand to ensure the lessons run smoothly. We always try to cater to a learner’s individual needs and ensure we create a positive learner experience. Time will be given to planning and your Local Education Manager is always on hand to provide support as and when needed. Delivery happens between Monday and Friday and weekends are strictly for rest and relaxation.

To be successful in the role of Cover Tutor, you will need:

- Hold at least a Level 2 qualification in Literacy and Numeracy
- Gain/hold and maintain a clean, enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.

Ideally, you will want to be a part of a team which has at its core a focus on improving lives and enabling and equipping learners to develop, grow and be equipped for a life of work and success. You’ll be a self-starter with a passion to learn and grow yourself and will bring passion, dedication, and positivity to your new role.

**Colleague Benefits**

As part of the LTE Group family, you will benefit from an excellent package including:

- Extensive annual leave which can be taken throughout the year and not restricted to school holiday times.
- Our in-house ‘Evolve’ training programme, which offers you the chance to upskill and further your career through a wide range of recognised qualifications.
- We support you through a teacher training qualification and assessor qualifications.
- Full package of training to support working in a Prison environment.
- Good progression routes into management positions within education
- Learner class sizes are much smaller than in FE colleges.
- Able to be flexible and innovative with the curriculum.
- Part of the wider community of the prison service
- Additional behavioural and complex need support
- Pension scheme options including a Teachers Pension scheme.
- Our comprehensive in-house awards scheme
- An Employee Assistance Programme including a free, confidential, 24/7 support service.
- Health care discounts through Simply Health
- Retail discounts through You at Work
- Our Cycle to Work scheme.

At Novus, we work with passion, care, and commitment to create the foundations for change. For almost 30 years we have been helping men, women and children of all ages and abilities, in prison settings across England and Wales, to take new directions. We operate 50 hubs in the United Kingdom where our specialist teams are on hand to support Adults and Children to improve their employability prospects post-release.
