Experienced Self Employment Tutor

Entrepreneurs Unlocked CIC is looking to recruit an experienced tutor to deliver its self-employment programme at HMP Ashfield in Pucklechurch, 10 miles to the Northeast of Bristol city centre. 

We have a long-term contract as a delivery partner and need an experienced person on site.

For context HMP Ashfield is a Cat C prison operated by Serco , with a roll of 410 people all who are convicted of a sexual offence. It provides several intervention courses and various education and skills-based courses to support reducing re-offending upon release. 

Using the course materials provided, the tutor enables learners to explore self-employment as a means of earning a legitimate income and develop a plan they can use in the future. 

Class sizes are typically 6 learner or less, which leads to a more personalised offering.

It is also the responsibility of the tutor to complete a range of administration tasks as required to ensure compliance with the regime, including organising learner schedules, messaging learners, completing attendance records as well as liaising with other deliver partners.

A person with current enhanced vetting, and with experience of delivering within a prison setting would be the ideal candidate. 

Previous or current experience of running a small business would be ideal so they can provide real-world experience to the learners.

The role is part time, for 2 days per week, days to be agreed.

Actual salary £14,000 to £16,000 PA (£35K to £40K Pro-Rata)

We will consider a person with lived experience, but the HMPPS Risk Assessed Access for Personnel with Lived Experience of the Criminal Justice System Policy Framework will be applied by the prison as part of the process.
