Summary

Are you looking for a role where you can genuinely see the difference you make?

Foundation Learning is looking for an Achievement Mentor to join our experienced, close-knit and successful team. This is a varied and genuinely unique role, working partly from our Fleets building and partly from our brand-new converted mobile classroom, taking education directly into local communities.

Our learners haven't always had the easiest relationship with education. Some have experienced barriers that have made traditional classrooms difficult, while others simply haven't yet found a way of learning that works for them.

No two days will look exactly the same.

At Fleets, you'll deliver small-group Maths and English intervention sessions, helping learners revisit concepts they may not have understood or mastered at school. We're not looking for someone to simply repeat the same lesson in the same way. You'll find different ways in, build confidence and make learning accessible, relevant and enjoyable.

One day you might be helping a learner finally understand fractions. Another, you could be supporting someone who has spent years believing they're "no good at English" to recognise just how much they are capable of.

You'll also work aboard our new mobile classroom, alongside other members of the Foundation Learning team. You'll travel into local communities to reach young people who may currently feel disconnected from education or unsure whether college is for them.

This isn't about recreating a traditional classroom on a bus.

It's about doing education differently.
