VACANCIES

TEACHER (PART TIME)

We are looking for a qualified teacher with ESOL experience to join our teaching team. This is a part-time role that would suit either one candidate working four days (Monday-Thursday), or two individuals.

The salary is fixed at an hourly equivalent to M2 (7.5 hours a day) and we follow a business - rather than an academic - calendar. This means we are open for the majority of the year and teachers take their holiday entitlement throughout the year. This role would suit either a secondary- or primary-experienced teacher.

We teach ESOL, phonics, maths and life skills to young unaccompanied asylum-seeking refugees aged 16-19, who are new to the UK. Our classes are up to 16 young people and are supported by an experienced teaching assistant team.

The classes are wonderfully diverse, with students from across the world with varying English ability. Our focus is to equip our young people with the skills they need to be successful in mainstream education - most of our young people go on to local colleges.

We have the freedom to create our own learning in response to the needs of our cohorts, which is why experience in ESOL, phonics and maths is beneficial. Currently, we have classes in Canterbury and Folkestone and our teachers work across both hubs.

We are not a school but a community provider, and encourage applicants to visit us to see us in action and to speak with us about the role. Please contact Nigel Pantling, our Senior Manager: Learning for Life: learning@kran.org.uk.

Applications should also be via this email. The deadline is Tuesday 31 March.

We are always looking for sessional teachers and teaching assistants (who work like supply teachers) and hope that you may also be interested in joining our team in this capacity. We are often invited to open a class in other local areas and having teaching staff “ready to go” enables us to swiftly take this on.
