As Lead Tutor you'll:
• Lead and deliver our Pre-Supported Internship programme
• Teach engaging English, maths and employability sessions
• Support learners to progress into Supported Internships and employment
• Coordinate Practical Skills and Supported Internship provision across the team
• Mentor and support tutors to deliver outstanding learning experiences
• Work closely with parents, carers, employers and external agencies
• Act as the Key College site lead for our Green Hub and Marble Hall centres
• Help shape innovative programmes that prepare young people for adulthood and work
