Casual Tutor (Accounting)
An Exciting opportunity...
Brent is a tremendously vibrant London borough where the iconic arch of Wembley Stadium dominates the skyline. Spanning both inner and outer London, it is a borough of huge contrasts in terms of its economic, environmental, ethnic and social make up. Brent’s diversity is evident to all who visit our borough and our long history of ethnic and cultural diversity has created a place that is truly unique and valued by those who live and work here.
Brent Start Adult and Community Learning is the largest local authority provider of adult learning within the West London Alliance area. The learner cohort is diverse and is drawn from an area which has higher levels of deprivation and unemployment compared to the London and West London averages. Learner achievement rates are higher than average compared to similar providers and learner satisfaction rates are also high.
The council is pursuing a far-reaching transformation agenda that better meets the needs of our community so it is an exciting time to join us.
The Post
Are you a team player?
Are you willing to roll up your sleeves for the benefit of learners? Do you go the extra mile when needed? Have you got a good track record for the attendance and achievement of your learners?
If you can answer ‘yes’ to those questions, you are the kind of person we are looking for to enter our sessional/bank staff pool.
We are looking to strengthen the Maths teaching team at Brent Start Adult and Community Learning Centre, and we want creative, flexible and committed staff to make this possible. This role requires teamwork and a willingness to do what it takes to support Brent Start and the curriculum area.
The Person
You are a dedicated member of staff who consistently puts learners first. With attendance at team meetings, training events and standardisation/audit meetings, you are a person that can be relied upon to produce quality. In addition, you have knowledge and experience of RaRPA and using accreditation with external examination boards.
Ideally, you have an accounting qualification at level 4 and above with at least a level 5 teaching qualification. If you do not already hold a teaching qualification at level 5, there can be a discussion around your commitment to gaining them within a certain time period. You may also have some payroll qualifications/experience to add to your list. GCSE or Functional Skills Level 2 in Maths would be desirable. You are expected to work at flexible hours, including evenings and weekends. A current DBS would be welcome.
