Elementa is supporting our sister company, Elmtree Learning Partnership to recruit for a Functional Skills Coordinator. This is a new role within the company as we expand the offering we provide to our learners. Having recently taken on a provision in Exeter, and with our current secondary provisions in Weston-super-Mare and Clevedon, we are becoming a Functional Skills Centre and need an experienced Functional Skills Teacher to oversee and advise on the implementation of the new courses. It is essential to hold a clean UK driving licence with your own vehicle. You will be assigned a base site to work from, and travel between additional sites will be paid at 44p per mile.

Initially, the role will be offered on a part-time basis at 3 days per week, but with growth and expansion, it may increase to full-time. As this is a new role for the company, the role will develop over time, and with input from the F/S Coordinator on how we can best deliver and improve the offering we provide.

• Ensure all systems and student records are kept updated
• Enrolling learners to correct courses
