Job Description

The Learning for Life team delivers courses to RAS (refugee and asylum seeking) young people to help prepare them to join school or college. Our lessons focus mostly on English but can also cover maths, phonics, life skills and aspects of UK culture and values, and life in the UK. Teachers make use of L4L curriculum materials and adapt these – and develop new resources – to best meet the learning needs of the young people in their class(es). Most of our learners join us soon after their arrival in the UK/entry into the community and, the vast majority have low levels of English. Our class sizes rarely exceed 15 and classes usually have a Teaching Assistant or other support person available to facilitate the class and provide extra help.

The main duties include:

• Deliver suitable classes for the specific learners in the class and undertake the associated planning, preparation and assessment
• Make use of existing resources and prepare – and share/save centrally – new ones as appropriate
• Manage the work of any classroom assistants or any volunteers/trainees etc supporting the lesson effectively and appropriately
• Attend teachers’ meetings and be an active member of the L4L team, sharing insights and offering/requesting support and input when appropriate
• Contribute to PEPs (Personal Education Plans) as required and keep accurate records and summaries of classes taught in the appropriate shared drive/place;attending meetings when required
• Keep daily registers of attendance
• Deliver other forms of learning support that may be required from time to time, such as workshops ,remedial coaching sessions, or activities/trips in school holidays (or remote/hybrid initiatives in the event of lockdowns etc)

Other duties include:
