About the Role
The aim of this role is to manage the provision of Adult learning Languages classes alongside an established Learning Development and Delivery Coordinator (0.5) to ensure that classes are well run, quality of education is high and learners are supported to enjoy and achieve in their learning. This is a varied role, and within it you will also need to promote classes and recruit new learners, complete all course administration (including registering learners on qualifications and claiming certificates) and support tutors to deliver excellent lessons and manage attendance and behaviour. This role manages approx 10/12 sessional teaching staff.
We currently teach 6 languages, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Portuguese, and BSL. (There is a separate LDDC for BSL courses so these will not be your responsibility).
The role is varied and challenging, and different times of the year are busy in different ways! At the start of the year duties include ensuring that all classes are ready, paperwork is updated and prepared and planning is complete for the forthcoming year, towards the end of the academic year we are managing assessments and moderation, submitting results, creating reports and deciding on what we will deliver the next year. No week is the same! There is a teaching element to this post and there is an expectation that a minimum of 20% of your time will be spent teaching one of our 5 foreign Languages to adults face to face. We would prefer a Spanish speaker as we have a lot of native Spanish staff to manage and a large Spanish language provision. Our current LDDC is a French speaker.
You will need to complete mandatory training linked to the role and the service.
We would like someone based in the south of the county if possible as our current LDDC is based in the North. You must be willing to travel around the county (to visit tutors and attend meetings) and have access to your own transportation.
An enhanced DBS check is required for this post.
