We are seeking a talented and enthusiastic tutor to deliver both accredited and non-accredited Counselling courses to adults in the BCP and Dorset council areas as well as online.
About the Opportunity

As an adult education provider, our courses run throughout the year, during weekdays, evenings, and weekends, both in a face-to-face setting in one of our centres and online. As a variable hours tutor, you will be able to select which courses you teach but flexibility will be needed. This role is part-time and hours will equate to approximately 15 hours per week.

What You Will Need
Essential Requirements:
- L3 Award in Education and Training or equivalent, or willing to work towards one
- English and maths qualifications at grade 4/C or above or equivalent
- Qualified Counsellor at L4 or above or equivalent
