We are looking for people who love to teach the subject they are passionate about! We are particularly looking for English, maths, employability, and digital skills/IT tutors. Experience of teaching accredited Functional Skills courses in maths or English is a distinct advantage, but not essential.
Learn Telford is a provider of adult and community learning. Our courses run in community venues across the borough of Telford and Wrekin and we work hard to reach the sections of the community that need us most.
The core of what we do is to improve basic skills such as English, maths and IT/digital skills, however we also offer a wide range of courses in lots of other subject areas. Courses can vary in length from a few weeks to a full academic year and may also lead to a qualification. Much of what we do is about improving our learners' confidence and self-esteem to enable them to progress onto longer courses leading to qualifications. We also offer progression routes through the Access to Higher Education and other level 3 courses.
The tutor contract is variable hours and the amount of hours you work can vary depending on what subject you teach and how in demand it is. Some tutors teach just one session per week, others work almost full time, particularly if they teach one of our core subjects. The volume of work you are looking for is something we can discuss at interview.
We are a hardworking and supportive team and we care about providing high quality learning to our learners. We were last inspected by Ofsted in 2022 and were judged Good in all areas. Last year we had 2600 enrolments and delivered courses in over 50 community venues.
You will need a relevant teaching qualification and have some experience of teaching adults or children.
The tutor hourly rate is £25.75 to £27.80, plus 20% planning and preparation time, plus annual leave, plus hours for assessment.
If you would like an informal chat about the role, please email or Lynn.Anslow to arrange a suitable time.
Interviews will be held on 30th June and 2nd July 2026.
