We are working with a popular and well-established College across its RCT and Caerphilly campuses, seeking a full-time Foundation Learning Lecturer - Skills to join their team. This is not a mainstream lecturing role, and we are particularly keen to hear from candidates with genuine experience supporting Foundation and Entry Level learners.

• Have ALN or additional support needs

• Require a higher level of pastoral and emotional support
• Need significant differentiation, structure and encouragement
• Benefit from positive, consistent and trusting relationships with teaching staff

For this reason, we are looking for someone who can engage learners, build trust and create an inclusive learning environment where students feel supported to develop their confidence, skills and independence.

What we’re looking for

• Strong previous experience within a Foundation Learning or similar environment
• Experience teaching and supporting learners across a range of abilities
• A strong understanding of ALN, learner engagement and behaviour management
• The ability to effectively differentiate learning
• Excellent relationship-building and pastoral skillsA patient, resilient and consistent approach
• Experience delivering at Entry Level E2/E3 would be highly desirable
