Business/ Digital Skills Tutor

Business/Digital Skills Tutor- HMP

Permanent

Location: London

Salary: From £35,000 per annum

Are you an engaging educator with strong business or digital skills looking for a teaching role where your work genuinely changes lives?

About the Role

We are recruiting a Business/Digital Skills Tutor to join a training provider in the justice sector, delivering business and digital skills learning within a prison education setting. You'll teach small groups of adult learners with a wide range of educational backgrounds, learning needs and abilities, helping them build practical, work-ready skills that support progression into employment.

Many of your learners will have had difficult experiences of education, so patience, empathy and a genuine belief in each individual's potential will matter as much as your subject knowledge.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Planning and delivering engaging, inclusive business and digital skills sessions tailored to small groups of learners with varied abilities and backgrounds.

• Conducting initial assessments and diagnostics to establish learners' starting points, then setting up and maintaining Individual Learning Plans.

• Embedding literacy, numeracy and employability skills naturally into business and digital skills learning to support progression.

• Preparing learners for relevant qualifications and celebrating their achievements and personal development.

• Working closely with prison staff and the wider education team to ensure positive, holistic learner outcomes.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

• A relevant Level 3 qualification in Business or Digital Skills

• Experience delivering engaging teaching and learning to adult learners

• Strong communication and classroom management skills

• Resilience and professionalism to work effectively in a secure environment

Desirable (but not essential):

• A Level 5 teaching qualification (PGCE, Cert Ed, DTLLS or equivalent), or willingness to work towards one

• Previous experience within prison education, FE or adult learning settings

If you're ready to bring your business and digital skills expertise into a role that genuinely changes lives, we'd love to hear from you.
