Job Description
At Novus, we are now seeking ICT professionals to join the education team at HMP Hull as Trainer on a Permanent, part-time role working 16.5 hours per week.
In this role, you will work and be supported by our amazing team of dedicated professionals to mentor our learners to develop their practical ICT skills which will, in turn, help them to secure employment opportunities post-release. You will need patience, passion and understanding in your approach to our learners who have 'hit a bump in the road' but want to learn and improve. Working in a prison is different to a mainstream education facility.
We operate with security at the forefront of what we do, so our class sizes are small to maximise supportive delivery. To aid this you also will be supported by Learning Support Practitioners who will support with one to one when required. Our security team are on hand to ensure the lessons run smoothly. We always try to cater to a learner's individual needs and ensure we create a positive learner experience. Time will be given to planning and your local education manager is always on hand to provide support as and when needed.
Delivery happens between Monday and Friday and weekends are strictly for rest and relaxation.
What we need from you
To be successful in the role of Trainer in ICT, you will need:
_ Flexible approach to working in a fast-paced environment

_ Have at least 2 years of experience working as an ICT professional
_ Willing to gain an Award in Education within 6 months
_ Being willing to work toward educational qualifications that will support your delivery
_ Willing to gain an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check
