About the Role
As an Employability Tutor, you will deliver practical, engaging learning programmes to young people on a post-16 Study Programme at our centre in Doncaster.
You will support learners from initial assessment through to successful completion, helping them build employability skills, confidence, and recognised qualifications. Delivery will include Entry Level to Level 2 programmes, including Functional Skills and GCSE English and Maths.
This role combines classroom teaching, employability skills development, and pastoral support, preparing learners for progression into employment, apprenticeships, or further education. You will also work closely with apprenticeship teams and external partners to support positive learner outcomes.
Key Responsibilities
Deliver employability and skills-based teaching to post-16 learners
Teach Entry Level to Level 2, including Functional Skills and GCSE English & maths
Embed work readiness, behaviour, and social skills into lessons
Monitor learner progress and set individual learning targets
Organise and support assessments, coursework, and examinations
Provide pastoral and tutorial support to learners
Maintain accurate learner records using ICT and tracking systems
Build effective links with apprenticeship tutors and external organisations
Safeguarding responsibilities: This role will involve daily contact with learners, and you will be engaging in regulated activity relevant to children. All staff have a responsibility for promoting and safeguarding the welfare of children and young people, and/or vulnerable adults for whom you are responsible and with whom you come into contact. The Charity’s Safeguarding Policy is available from Central YMCA website.
Any offer of employment will be subject to successfully completing pre-employment checks, including an enhanced DBS disclosure, teacher prohibition check, the receipt of satisfactory references, overseas check (if applicable), relevant original ID documentation and examination certificates.
Regulated activity: This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the Charity is therefore permitted to ask shortlisted applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) to assess their suitability to work with children. Should you be shortlisted, you will be required to complete a disclosure form prior to interview.
Please note: Candidates with overseas experience exceeding six months within the past five years will be required to provide criminal background checks or certificates of good conduct from the relevant jurisdictions, in English or with certified translations.
