Job description

Do you have experience in Business and IT? Would you like to pass your knowledge on to others? Have you ever considered working within Prison Education?

If so, Weston College may have the perfect role for you. We are looking for a Lecturer in Business and IT to join our Education Team at HMP The Verne working on an 0.85 basis (31.45 hours per week)

As a Lecturer, you will deliver Business and IT courses to the learners within the Education department at HMP The Verne. In this role you will have an outstanding opportunity to positively enhance learners’ lives.

Although having a teaching qualification would be beneficial, it is not essential as we can support to gain this whilst in post. Catering experience is necessary, and we would welcome applications from you if you have industry experience but no formal teaching experience.

When you join the team at Weston College, you will be joining a multi-award winning organisation which is one of the fasted growing colleges in the UK.

As an employee of Weston College you will have access to a huge range of benefits and support, including but not limited to:

Wellbeing @ Weston hub, providing well-being support for all;
A staff welfare officer;
Confidential Employee Assistance Programme (available 24/7, 365 days a year);
Access to Mental Health First Aiders, and the opportunity to complete this training yourself;
Training and development opportunities;
Great progression opportunities;
Generous pension schemes.
HMP The Verne

HMP The Verne, a Category C men's prison on the Isle of Portland in Dorset, prioritizes education through partnerships with Weston College and the Open University. Residents can access a robust curriculum, which includes distance learning and courses like painting, decorating, and construction. Residents at HMP The Verne have diverse work opportunities, from working in the kitchens, gardens, recycling centre, and barbershop to engaging in practical tasks at the woodmill, where furniture is assembled, or crafting and repairing goods within system itself. Uncover new horizons for personal growth and transformation at HMP The Verne.

Although we are an education provider, you don’t necessarily need experience within education to apply for a role with us, if you have relevant and transferable skills, we would welcome your application.

Weston College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful candidate will be required to obtain the appropriate prison clearance before starting the role.

Due to the volume of recruitment, we are unable to offer feedback to any unsuccessful candidates.

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early should we receive sufficient applications.
