IT Support jobs in Derbyshire

Do you have a passion for IT and enjoy helping others develop their skills and confidence?

At PeoplePlus, we’re looking for an enthusiastic and experienced IT Tutor to join our education team at HMYOI Werrington.

This is more than just a teaching role. You’ll use your IT knowledge and experience to help learners develop valuable skills, achieve recognised qualifications and take positive steps towards employment and life beyond custody.

If you’re passionate about education, enjoy working with people from diverse backgrounds and want to make a genuine difference, we’d love to hear from you.

About the role

As an IT Tutor, you’ll deliver engaging, inclusive and practical training to small groups of prison-based learners, helping them work towards qualifications and their longer-term goals.

You’ll:

• Plan and deliver engaging IT lessons that meet the needs of different learners.
• Identify individual learning needs and maintain effective Individual Learning Plans (ILPs).
• Adapt your teaching and use a variety of methods to engage, motivate and support learners.
• Support learners to overcome barriers to education, employment and progression.
• Monitor learner progress and adapt delivery where required.
• Provide advice, guidance and encouragement to help learners achieve their goals.
• Maintain accurate learner records, registers, ILPs, reviews and awarding body documentation.
• Work closely with colleagues and stakeholders to support learner progression.
• Contribute to curriculum development and continuous improvement.
• Ensure quality standards and contractual KPIs are consistently achieved.

You’ll be working 100% on-site at HMYOI Werrington, delivering face-to-face education. Flexibility and the ability to adapt to the needs of the learners and the prison environment are therefore essential.

What we're looking for

We’re looking for someone who can combine strong IT knowledge with the ability to inspire, engage and motivate others.

You’ll need:

• A Level 3 qualification in IT, or equivalent experience.
• Substantial experience and knowledge within the IT sector.
• Experience of delivering training, coaching, mentoring or developing others.
• The ability to adapt your approach to different learning styles and abilities.
• Strong communication, organisation and interpersonal skills.
• A positive, patient and inclusive approach to supporting learners.
• A genuine passion for helping people develop their skills and achieve their potential.

A teaching, training or assessing qualification would be desirable but is not essential.

Why PeoplePlus?

At PeoplePlus, we believe everyone has the potential to progress.

Our education teams play a vital role in helping people build confidence, gain qualifications and develop the skills they need for a more positive future.

Working in prison education can be challenging, but it is also incredibly rewarding. You’ll have the opportunity to see the direct impact your teaching can have on someone's confidence, skills and future prospects.

If you're looking for a role where you can use your IT expertise to make a genuine difference, we'd love to hear from you.
