All courses are proven and have easy to follow lesson plans and tutor notes. Full training is given for all the courses offered and the support continues throughout the year.

GLA tutors inspire learners with a positive experience that includes classroom and practical works. The aim is to instil confidence as well as practical skills, including softer skills that can be used in employment and social activities.

Confident individual who can deliver to a range of learners with different learning needs

Flexible to adapt lesson plans should regime learning hours change which can be frequent

Able to work alone with up to 10 prisoners at a time

Communicate and work with prison staff on a daily basis

Keep up to date written assessments on completion of every course

Within travelling distance to Colchester premises

At the end of any course the tutor will carry out a stock take of materials, condition of rigs and tools and this will be submitted to the GLA admin manager no later than three working days after a course has finished. This enables GLA to deliver any top up materials or carry out maintenance to rigs or tools before the next course commences.

In addition to the teaching role, the tutor will be expected to assist in maintaining rigs (painting and repairing), carrying out course inductions and supporting other tutors with visits to other prisons. This type of role will happen when there is a week or period without an allocated course.

The role of tutor will involve travel across the UK and staying in hotels at least four nights per week if daily travel to and from a site is not feasible. GLA cover all these costs, but it should be made clear that the position is not a standard 9-5 role.
