Teacher - ESOL (Part Time, Fixed Term, Reduced Year)

About the Role

Leeds City College are recruiting for an ESOL teacher to join our team on a part time, reduced year and fixed term basis. Experience of teaching adult ESOL in FE is essential. EFL and sessional experience is not suitable.

This is a part-time, reduced year (37 weeks per annum), fixed term role until July 2027. You will work two evenings per week, totalling 7.4 hours. This includes 5 hours of teaching from 6:30pm to 9:00pm, plus 2.4 hours of non-teaching duties scheduled around the teaching time.

The pro rata salary is £5,658 with progression to £6,366 per annum.

• Develop the essential knowledge and understanding to teach ESOL learners.
• Create individual SMART learning targets linked to learner study programme/course.
• Monitor students to achieve their targets and develop their skills to enable progression.

About You

• You should hold a L5 Teaching Qualification (e.g. Cert Ed, PGCE, Delta). Celta is not recognised in the UK as a full teaching qualification, but successful applicants can be supported to complete a L5 Teaching Qualification with the college with department financial support.
• English and Maths at Level 2 or above and a willingness to improve in one or both disciplines to Level 3 or above.
• Have experience teaching ESOL to adults in a UK college; not just EFL or pre-sessional.
