If this applies to you, please read on to find out more about our vacancies and what Adult Learning Lewisham can offer.

Due to retirement and relocation, we are looking to fill vacancies across all levels in both accredited and non-accredited Functional Skills English courses from Pre-Entry to Level . We are particularly keen to employ evening tutors, although we also have vacancies for daytime classes. We work with our tutors to develop a timetable which fits in with their availability. 

This is an exciting time to join Adult Learning Lewisham as we grow our provision and develop further partnerships across Lewisham. We aim to meet the ongoing demand of adults who seek to improve their English language skills, enhance their career prospects and flourish. 

We are a well-established and ambitious adult community learning (ACL) provider, offering a wide range of courses across Lewisham from two of our main centres located in Granville Park and Brockley Rise.

English courses run in the daytime and evenings with sessions ranging from to hours per week across the academic year. You may want to teach one course, or a variety of courses.

Working as part of a team, you will support the pre-course assessment of learners, where their needs are identified and they are allocated to appropriate courses. You will be responsible for planning and delivering courses, addressing learner needs and supporting learners in progressing, achieving their goals and gaining a qualification (where applicable). 

Upon successful recruitment, you will receive an in-depth induction into the service. We will provide you with ongoing support with our MIS and VLE systems. You will have regular opportunities to share best teaching practices and attend staff development events. 

As a Lewisham council employee, you can enjoy a wide range of entitlements and benefits including a teacher’s pension, free access to the council’s Learning Academy and various schemes to support your travel to work, to mention just a few.
