Teach IT where your impact goes beyond the classroom.

For some of your learners, the first step might be feeling confident enough to sit down at a computer. For others, it could be working towards a recognised qualification that helps them apply for jobs after release. As an IT Tutor at HMP & YOI Bronzefield, you’ll help women make that progress and build the skills they need for work and everyday life.

This is an opportunity to bring your ideas to the classroom. Working with the Curriculum Lead and the wider education team, you’ll develop practical lessons that reflect how technology is changing and give learners a reason to see themselves as capable of using it.

What you’ll be doing

• Plan and deliver accredited and non-accredited IT courses, including functional digital skills.
• Create engaging lessons and resources that work for learners with different starting points, from those taking their first steps with technology to those working towards a qualification.
• Build positive relationships with learners, encourage participation and help them take ownership of their progress through individual learning plans.
• Track attendance, achievement and progression, and use learner feedback to improve your courses.
• Set clear expectations and manage challenging behaviour calmly, creating a safe and respectful classroom within a secure environment.

What you’ll bring

• A full teaching qualification, with CTLLS as a minimum, or a PGCE.
• Experience delivering accredited courses in a classroom.
• A recognised Level 3 qualification or above in a relevant subject, alongside relevant professional experience.
• A good understanding of how technology is developing and the digital skills people need for work and everyday life.
• A genuine interest in supporting the rehabilitation and resettlement of women in custody.
• Patience, understanding and empathy, with the confidence to handle confrontation and challenging behaviour.
• Clear communication skills, a flexible approach to teaching and a commitment to making learning inclusive.

Experience in a prison environment, experience supporting people with challenging behaviour, or an assessor or internal verifier qualification would be welcome.

If you enjoy making technology accessible and want to help women at HMP Bronzefield prepare for life after release, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today to join our education team.
