Warwickshire County Council
About The Team
We are excited to share vacancies in Warwickshire Adult and Community Learning’s Family Learning team. Family Learning is in high demand, and we are seeking Sessional Tutors to join us. We are looking for someone who is creative and passionate about promoting outstanding outcomes for families.
Warwickshire County Council’s Adult and Community Learning is a dynamic, forward-looking adult education service, judged ‘Good’ by Ofsted. We provide a wide range of adult learning courses across the county.
Family Learning is a specialist service, consisting of outstanding teachers who work with parents and carers to help them to develop skills for supporting their children. As a sessional tutor, you will teach across the rich and broad curriculum offer within the Family Learning programme. This includes:
- Literacy
- Numeracy
- Science, Food and the Environment
- Art and Play
- Parenting and Life Skills courses
It is suited to teachers who have experience working in education across a range of ages and stages, as well as curriculum areas – the success of our team is built on the wide and varied experience of our team. Your teaching is planned for you, though you are also encouraged to bring creative ownership to your work within the boundaries of the role.
About The Role
This post will be based Warwickshire-wide (comprising Stratford District, Warwick District, the Borough of Rugby, the Borough of North Warwickshire and the Borough of Nuneaton and Bedworth). It may be possible to express an area preference if we have enough tutors employed to cover each area, though you will have an ability to travel Warwickshire-wide as required.
Your office base will either be Pound Lane Learning Centre, Leamington Spa, Camp Hill Centre, Nuneaton or Oakfield Park in Rugby, though there will be a requirement to access all three bases as part of the role, too. Your teaching commitments will be based out in community venues such as schools, early years settings and community centres. Your mileage and travel time costs are covered, beyond your usual commute to base.
Classes mostly take place during the day, with some evening provision offered. Classes are delivered across Warwickshire in partnership with a variety of settings. The current rate of pay is £23.53 per hour (inclusive of holiday pay). In addition, tutors are paid one hour for preparation, assessment, and other associated duties for every two hours of teaching delivered. This equates to an effective rate of £35.29 per teaching hour.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This role is sessional, which means you are able to make choices about your working hours and will be offered opportunities flexibly, in line with your casual contract. It also provides you with opportunities to develop your skills within the curriculum area while giving you access to further employment opportunities if they arise within the service. Ideally, you will be available to begin as soon as possible, though start dates can be negotiated where notice periods would not enable this.
Key Requirements
You are likely to be a skilled qualified teacher, with knowledge and experience of teaching across the Early Years Foundation Stage and/or Primary curriculum.
- You will hold ambitious expectations of your learners and an ability to inspire them to achieve to the best of their abilities.
- You will be able to plan and deliver high quality Family Learning programmes, independently and collaboratively.
- You will be confident to deliver and assess accredited provision, with experience of moderation processes in an education context.
- You will need to have an innovative approach to teaching and experience of working with learners with a range of abilities.
- You will have experience of working with adults and children within education.
- You must be committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and to supporting the rights and aspirations of under-represented groups.
