**Functional Skills Tutor / Learner Engagement**

**Digbeth, Birmingham**

**Full Time**

**£25,000-£28,000 per annum**

**About Us**
- Tired of teaching? Would you prefer to work in a role that offers variety and smaller class sizes? Want to make a difference to people’s lives and give back to society? If the answer is yes, please read on._

The New Leaf Initiative is an award-winning community interest company, experienced in supporting people who are furthest away from the employment market.

Since 2014 we have engaged with over 1200 prisoners and people with convictions, supporting a wide range of needs including education and training, employment, housing, mental health, and substance misuse.

In 2021 New Leaf was awarded 3 years funding by The National Lottery Community Fund to develop the New Leaf Workspace and Training Academy. This would expand our range of training and education for clients who have previously disengaged from mainstream education provision.

New Leaf’s current training provision includes the ESFA Traineeship Programme for 19-24-year-olds in partnership with B-Skill Limited. This provides learners with work preparation training, Functional Skills support, work experience and a guaranteed job interviews with an employer. We also deliver construction training and qualifications, enabling our clients to access employment in this growing sector.

Many of our clients experience complex barriers to learning, with around 53% experiencing learning difficulties and 47% experiencing mental health issues. A high proportion of our young learners are care leavers and have EHCPs.

**The Role Available**

As part of this exciting period of expansion, New Leaf is looking to recruit an experienced Tutor who can deliver Functional Skills to clients participating in our programmes, along with helping to grow our training provision.

This is no typical teaching role, as we work with young adults and adults (so mínimal interactions with parents). Activity is split between class-based delivery and external networking to engage with potential learners and enrol them onto training / programmes delivered by The New Leaf Training Academy.
- Attend external networking events to engage with potential learners and promote training and education opportunities available at The New Leaf Training Academy
- Build relationships with potential referral partners including YOIs, Probation Officers, Police, DWP, Youth Centres and Third Sector organisations
- Promptly follow up referrals to invite potential learners to visit the Training Academy for enrolment
- Work with learners to develop their learning plans, identifying individual aims and steps needed to achieve their goals
- Develop engaging and innovative interactive learning activities and materials to provide the best possible experience for learners who have previously disengaged from mainstream education
- Deliver and embed Employability, English, Maths, and ICT in activities and deliver Functional Skills sessions to enable learners to increase their achievement levels
- Provide pastoral support to individual learners, identifying barriers to education and employment, working with colleagues and partner agencies to address these
- Complete learning evidence in line with DFE/ESF/AEB requirements
- Provide IAG that is relevant to learners to support their development and progression into further education, employment, or apprenticeships
- Work closely with the Operations & Partnerships Manager to build positive employer relationships, ensuring the availability of placement and employment opportunities for learners

**Skills / Experience Required**

1. Experience as a Tutor or Teacher, delivering Functional Skills English and Maths to Level 2 or above

2. Personal experience of the Criminal Justice System would be highly advantageous, either through personal lived experience, or supporting others with lived experience

3. A recognised teaching qualification

4. Experience of class-based delivery, especially working with smaller groups of individuals with complex needs

5. Experience of developing training provision and expanding services

6. Compliance experience, ensuring learner documentation is completed accurately and to an audit-ready standard, and liaising with commissioners to improve processes and quality

7. A driving licence is desirable as the role will involve travel to other locations as part of process of engaging with and attracting new learners

We are looking for somebody with a real passion and skill for engaging with young people and adults who are disenfranchised with mainstream education, but who can balance this charisma with an aptitude for processes and compliance.

In line with our values, we are looking for individuals who are **Ethical, Credible, Empathetic, Solution-focused, Transformative, **and **Unique. **We will be looking for applicants to demonstrate these during the interview process.
