Appointments will be made in line with the established pay scales for teaching roles (M1-M5)What the role looks like:As a Maths Tutor at HMP Peterborough, you will plan, develop, implement, and evaluate activities and courses to help prisoners achieve their functional skills qualification in Maths. 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.What we are looking for:
  • Working towards or achieved a teaching qualification in the relevant subject area OR experience in a teaching/tutor role.
  • Interest in the rehabilitation of offenders.
  • A flexible and responsive attitude.
  • Willingness to innovate and demonstrate self-motivation.
  • Be proactive, dynamic, and positive at all times.
