RHACC is a Specialist Designated Institution for Adult Learning, providing a varied course offer to support the lifelong learning goals of adults. With daytime, evening, weekend and residential courses across two main campuses and in outreach venues, RHACC is able to meet a broad range of needs, and creates pathways to work and wellbeing.  

We are looking for a Sessional English Tutor. As well as a Degree which shows that you have the knowledge to teach English, we expect applicants to hold a minimum teaching qualification such as the PTLLS, but a full teaching qualification such as the Cert Ed or the equivalent along with QTLS would be preferred. Previous teaching experience would also be an advantage. Experience of working with pre-entry level learners would be an advantage. Courses are scheduled on weekdays and some evenings. You will also be expected to attend team meetings at least once a term during an academic year. So if you are knowledgeable, dependable and interested in this work and have relevant qualifications and experience, please do apply for this role. Please note, we may take on a number of staff with different specialisms and abilities.  

Experience of working with leaners with ESOL needs and an understanding of those needs preferred.
