LOCATION: Cambridge
HOURS: 15 per week (working days to be agreed)
SALARY: £12,934 - £16,310 per annum (£31,904 - £40,233 FTE)
We are pleased to offer an exciting opportunity to join our Additional Learning Support Teaching (ALS) team for 2 days per week. This role focuses on supporting students who require additional tuition in English or maths, as well as those who need help developing key skills such as time management or academic writing.
As an ALS Teacher, you will plan and deliver personalised learning sessions tailored to each student’s individual needs. Working closely with learners, you will identify gaps in their understanding, build their confidence, and support their progress through targeted, engaging activities.
You will work with small groups of students, delivering sessions in maths, English, academic writing and planning, or time management, helping them develop the skills and self-belief needed to succeed in Further Education.
This role also involves managing your own timetable and ensuring that support sessions are arranged around students’ existing commitments.
We are a successful, community-focused FE College based in the East of England. We have a thriving Science Team and in recent years, the department has grown from strength to strength. We offer an incredible training package and a chance to work within tight knit and supportive teams.
Please note that your point on the salary scale will be determined based on both experience and teaching qualifications. Appointments will not normally be made at point 12 or above (£37,454 FTE) without a level 5 teaching qualification and experience.
