Barbering Tutor

Job Introduction
Are you passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of individuals within the criminal justice system? Do you have a flexible and responsive attitude with some experience in a teaching environment? If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you to join our team as a** Barbering** Tutor** at **HMP Peterborough**.

As a **Barbering** Tutor **at **HMP Peterborough**, you will plan, develop, implement, and evaluate activities and courses to help prisoners achieve their functional skills qualification in English. You will be expected to monitor the attendance, achievement, and progression of learning, whilst challenging any negative behaviours and increasing prisoners’ self-esteem through a self-directed learning/teaching style. Some of our prisoners come to us with undiagnosed learning difficulties and neurodivergence and often have lost their confidence in education - we need someone who will ensure that every prisoner when its time leaves empowered with the ability and desire to learn more.

Working in a prison, you will enjoy year-round education without the constraints of term-based schedules, providing the flexibility to take leave throughout the year. With significantly smaller class sizes, typically ranging from 6 to 12 students, our tutors can adopt a learner-centric approach, customising teaching methods to cater to individual needs. Additionally, the requirement for learner files to remain on-site and the inclusion of daily administrative time means no home marking, allowing our tutors to focus their energy on in-class instruction and student support.

This is both a challenging and rewarding role, where you directly impact the future of our prisoners, by equipping them with the tools they need to incorporate stability in their lives upon release.
- Please see the attached job description for a more detailed list of the main responsibilities._
