With a proven track record of delivering effective support services, in 2024, we helped house over 1,400 individuals and provided support to over 500 of our service users, helping them to achieve their personal goals and lead fulfilling lives in their new country.

We are now looking for a Lead Tutor to join us on a full‑time basis, working 37.5 hours per week, for a one‑year fixed term contract.

Our Commitment to You

• Salary of £34,277 per annum
• 25 days’ annual leave, plus bank holidays
• Pension
• Flexible working
• Employee Recognition Programme
• Training and development opportunities
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Social gatherings and staff retreats

This is a meaningful opportunity for an experienced trainer or FE professional with a strong grasp of Ofsted requirements to join our mission‑led organisation.

You’ll have the chance to lead deeply purposeful work, using your teaching expertise to help refugees build confidence and develop vital English language skills, while seeing the real‑world impact of education on people’s lives.

What’s more, you’ll be joining a supportive organisation that invests in your development and recognises the value of your contribution.

So, if you’re passionate about education as a tool for empowerment and want to make a lasting difference, we’d love to hear from you.

What You’ll Be Doing

As our Lead Tutor, you will lead and deliver high‑quality learning programmes that equip refugees with the English language skills and wider qualifications they need to integrate, progress, and thrive.

You will design, plan and deliver ambitious, well‑sequenced programmes of learning, primarily focused on English provision, using assessment and feedback to ensure teaching meets individual learner needs and supports strong outcomes.

Alongside delivery, you will maintain accurate learner records, assess progress against agreed standards, and support learners to achieve accreditation and move into further learning or employment.

As a senior figure within the training team, you will take responsibility for quality assurance and curriculum standards, leading internal verification, supporting tutors and assessors, and embedding continuous improvement across provision.

Additionally, you will:

• Fulfil the role of Lead Internal Verifier, ensuring robust and compliant IQA systems
• Lead standardisation activities and provide developmental feedback to tutors and assessors
• Ensure delivery meets inspection, audit and awarding body requirements
• Capture and evaluate learner voice and exit feedback to improve provision

What We’re Looking For

To join us as our Lead Tutor, you will need:

• At least two years’ experience within FE and/or the training sector delivering high‑quality learning experiences
• Experience of working to quality assurance and compliance requirements, especially with regard to Ofsted
• Experience using funder‑specific CRM systems
• Knowledge of FE and other employment intervention programmes, including their background and operation
• Knowledge of internal verification processes
• A qualification to Level 3 or demonstrable equivalent experience
• A teaching qualification
• A lead internal verifier qualification (or the willingness to work towards this in the first 6 months of employment)

The closing date for this role is 12th January 2026.

Other organisations may call this role Senior Tutor, Curriculum Lead, Further Education Lecturer, FE Trainer, ESL Trainer, FE Tutor, ESL Tutor, English Programme Lead, Learning and Skills Tutor, Adult Education Tutor, or Education Programme Lead.
