Your role:

You will deliver Functional Skills English to Adult Learners across the Wigan borough, ensuring that your learners get the best possible learning environment and achieve well.

The post is term time only, plus 6 weeks, with holiday pay, which effectively works out at 97% or higher of a full-time year-round contract depending on length of service with holidays too.

About you:

Besides being a qualified/experienced English tutor, you will enjoy being part of a team supporting adult learners from a range of different backgrounds and be willing to work with other team members to continually improve the offer. You will thrive in an environment that aims to support all learners to the best outcomes.

About us:

Wigan Council has been voted ‘Overall Council of the Year’ at the APSE (Association for Public Service Excellence) Awards. We are signed up to the Greater Manchester Continuous Service Commitment ensuring that your service will be continuous or 'unbroken' between the supporting organisations.

The Progress with Unity plan is a place movement for change for the next decade, bringing a new era for Wigan Borough. It draws on the strengths of our individual organisations, recognising that together we can achieve much more for our communities by delivering on our 2 place missions; create fair opportunities for all children, families, residents and businesses and make our towns and neighbourhoods flourish for those who live and work in them.

Our team is small, friendly, with good support from managers, flexible working, including some time undertaking planning and prep at home, as well as access to a laptop, work phone and more. The majority of class sizes are small, and start and end at reasonable times, allowing a good work/life balance. Our way of working ensures that our learners achieve well with success rates across the board, well into the 90s%.

Here at Wigan, we are proud to support flexible working patterns, when the service can accommodate this. We also take a blended approach to where we work, depending on the work we do.
