Description
We are looking for an engaging and confident educator to lead and deliver a Personal Development programme for learners aged 16–19.
This is a varied role combining classroom teaching with curriculum development. You’ll deliver approximately 12–14 hours of teaching per week, while taking responsibility for ensuring the programme remains relevant, inclusive and engaging for young people.
The curriculum covers a broad range of personal, social and contemporary issues, including relationships, mental health and wellbeing, citizenship, equality and inclusion, politics, media, religion and ethics, financial awareness, sustainability, careers and sexual health.
The role
You will:
Deliver engaging Personal Development / PSHE sessions to 16–19-year-old learners
Review, develop and improve existing curriculum content and teaching resources
Create well-structured learning that encourages discussion, reflection and critical thinking
Confidently facilitate sensitive or challenging topics in an appropriate and balanced way
Adapt sessions to meet the needs of different learners
Use learner feedback, research and current issues to keep content fresh and relevant
Support and develop other staff involved in delivering the programme
Help maintain high standards across Personal Development provision
What we’re looking for
You’ll ideally have previous experience delivering Personal Development, PSHE, pastoral education or a related curriculum to young people.
You should have:
A relevant degree or professional qualification
Level 2 English and Maths, or equivalent
A recognised teaching qualification is highly desirable although not essential
Experience working with young people in an education or training environment
Confidence discussing potentially sensitive subjects with learners
Strong classroom management and communication skills
An interest in developing curriculum rather than simply delivering existing materials
This could suit an experienced FE Lecturer, PSHE/Personal Development Tutor, Pastoral Tutor or Curriculum Lead who enjoys working with 16–19-year-olds and wants the opportunity to shape and develop a successful programme.
