Following the successful promotion of our Adult Learning Lead Tutor for Maths, we are recruiting to the post.

Inspire delivers quality adult learning for Nottinghamshire, across the county. The Adult Learning Maths Lead Tutor is a key role in this delivery.

The Maths Lead is responsible for the planning and delivery of the maths programme across the whole county. This includes a significant Maths Functional Skills offer from Entry Level to Level 2, as well as GCSE maths, maths engagement and family learning maths. Our courses are delivered in-person, many from our libraries across the county, but also in other community venues, as well as some online tutored classes. They run throughout the week and include evening and weekend delivery.

The Lead Tutor plans the programme to meet identified local need; they line manage and support a team of tutors, full-time and sessional, to develop and deliver excellent adult learning provision ensuring greater confidence, successful achievement and progression for all learners. The Lead Tutor is expected to teach maths at all levels for up to 40% of their contracted time. The Lead Tutor, working as part of the Adult Learning Management Team, collaborates to ensure an integrated, responsive and high-quality programme of adult learning for Nottinghamshire.

We are looking for a well-qualified teacher/tutor, with maths specialism. They will need to be familiar with the Functional Skills Maths curriculum at all levels, as well as GCSE. They will, ideally, have experience of delivering maths to adult learners, be passionate about the subject, understand potential barriers to learning maths which adults might experience, and able to inspire confidence and enthusiasm in our adult maths learners.

This is a full-time, permanent role with travel around Nottinghamshire. You will hold a current valid driving licence and have access to a vehicle. It will include some evening and weekend work.

We are actively championing inclusion and diversity in both our service offer and our employment: we particularly welcome your application if you are black, Asian or from a minority ethnic group, as you are currently under-represented at this level in our organisation.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults and we expect all staff to share this commitment and undergo appropriate checks. As such, this post will be subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check.
