P&D Lecturer

MK College Group have an exciting new opportunity for a creative P&D Lecturer to join the team based at HMP Rochester, with the possibility of also working at the adjacent HMP Cookham Wood on occasion. The recent merger of the two sites has created this role within our dynamic and innovative team and there really is no better time to join us.

As a P&D Lecturer, you will be actively engaging prison-based learners through the delivery of creative classes and engaging resources.

Many of the learners have a diverse range of needs and learning abilities and they will often have had a negative experience with education. As a successful P&D Teacher, you will truly inspire them and provide learners with a positive learning experience that can make a difference, not only within their present situation, but also in the future.

This role will involve working with learners from all backgrounds within a workshop environment. You will be connecting with learners in a professional manner, supporting them with their learning, enabling them to achieve success through not only qualifications, but developing the confidence and softer skills that they can apply to employment as well as other areas of education.
