Are you passionate about Education and enjoy supporting students to achieve their personal best?

Nottingham College is one of the largest further education colleges in the country creating opportunities for employment and progression to higher education for the people of Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, raising their prosperity and that of the local economy.

We have an exciting opportunity for you to become part of our new Pastoral team at Nottingham College, supporting our students to become ‘Future Ready’.

As a Pastoral Tutor, you will work closely with your specific curriculum area delivering an effective and efficient group tutorial programme. This will include facilitating sessions designed to develop personal characteristics and social skills, employability skills, and provide students with the support and guidance to enable them to achieve success, develop their potential and progress to their next level.

You will play a pivotal role in ensuring a student experience is of the highest quality and support students to broaden their experiences and take advantage of opportunities from a college wide perspective and beyond.

You should be passionate about student’s achieving their potential and be proactive in putting the mechanisms of support in place to make sure we prepare students not only for college life but also for life and work beyond college.

You will be responsible for looking after a number of tutor groups, delivering group tutorials, meeting with students on a 1-1 basis, monitoring attendance and liaising with parents/guardians.

As this is a post requiring group delivery of tutorials, there is an expectation that you will hold a relevant teaching qualification or be willing to work towards one.

The ideal candidate will have experience and a passion for the pastoral care of students and be able to signpost students to the most appropriate support mechanism efficiently.

This post will have a training/induction period and then ongoing training throughout your time with the college to ensure we maintain the highest standards of education for our students and professional development for our staff.

The post will be shortlisted against the essential and desirable criteria at application stage from the person specification.
