Prison education runs all year round, all day Monday-Thursday and until lunchtime on a Friday. Delivery hours vary slightly prison to prison but full days are split across 2 long lessons (Morning and Afternoon).

Hourly paid opportunities (Occasional Workers) can be varying and change frequently so flexible availability is essential. Requirements can range from short notice short term cover to longer term sickness cover or recruitment gaps and anything in between. If you hold qualifications or expertise in more than one area or are able to travel to more than one prison, this could give you the opportunity to cover across multiple courses/sites and as a result the potential for more hours.

A teaching qualification would be desirable, however those willing to work towards a teaching qualification who hold supporting subject specialism or industry experience would also be considered – we can provide the training to help you achieve your full potential.

Get in touch today if you are a passionate person with the capacity to become a great teacher, looking to share your knowledge and learned experiences!

ABOUT HMP Elmley…

HMP Elmley serves the local courts in Kent so the majority of prisoners (55%) are awaiting a court appearance or to be transferred to another prison.

The Education Department works closely with our prison colleagues to take a holistic view of each learner and provide them with the initial starting points to support them on their next steps. This can be helping them to read or speak English, providing them with basic health and safety or food safety so they can secure employment – whether that be within the prison or on release. Time is spent understanding the men’s learning, supporting where there may be barriers to this and providing pastoral support as they engage with education in a prison. Courses include English and Maths Functional Skills (Entry 2 to Level 2), ESOL Catering and IT. This is complemented by a range of courses available through distance learning at level 3 and beyond e.g. Open University, A Levels and BTEC level 3.
