Newton Abbot, United Kingdom Dovetail & Slate Full time

**Have you ever considered workingin 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 ofwhat 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 ensuresall 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 Library & Learning Resource Centre Facilitator to work at a Category C Adult Male Prison in Newton Abbot.

As an LLRC Facilitator, you will be responsible for providing and promoting the services and facilities that the LLRC offers to all learners, and the wider prison community. You will work in collaboration with the other members of the Education team, prisonstaff and partner agencies to maximise usage of the LLRC for learning, leisure, well-being, resettlement, and employment progression.

You will need to be confident in using technology and able to communicate well with learners. You will be receptive to new ideas and open to work flexibly. Experience of working within a library environment will be an advantage but is not essential.

**Key details**:
Work schedule: Monday to Friday - 22.2 hours per week - May include some evening and weekend duties.

Salary scale**:£11,937.60 - £13,221.00**

Holidays: 168.9 hours per annum, inclusive of statutory bank holidays.
- Experience of working in Library setting, or similar _(desirable)_
- Experience of working in an education environment
- Competent IT user
