A teaching qualification would be desirable, however those willing to work towards a teaching qualification who hold supporting subject specialism or industry quals/experience will also be considered - we can provide the training to help you achieve your full potential. Who better to teach our learners than those who have worked directly in the industries!
For our Occasional Workers (hourly paid cover) - Adaptability and interest in covering multiple subjects/locations is welcomed. Hourly paid opportunities can be varying and change frequently so flexible availability is essential. Requirements can range from short notice short term cover to longer term sickness cover or recruitment gaps and anything in between. If you hold qualifications or expertise in more than one area or are able to travel to more than one prison, this could give you the opportunity to cover across multiple courses/sites and as a result the potential for more hours.
Milton Keynes College are offering potential candidates who possess suitable skills/experience the opportunity to visit the prison/s. This will allow candidates to experience the environment and find out more about the day-to-day regime and expectations.
