Elementa is supporting our sister company, Elmtree Learning Partnership to recruit for a Functional Skills Coordinator. This is a new role within the company, as we look to expand the offering, we provide to our learners. Having recently taken on a provision in Exeter, and with our current secondary provisions in Weston-super-Mare and Clevedon, we are becoming a Functional Skills Centre and need an experienced Functional Skills Teacher to oversee and advise on the implementation of the new courses. Whilst we have the tutors to deliver the course in Exeter, we will require someone to deliver the course at our sites in North Somerset and oversee the delivery of the course in Exeter. Therefore, it is essential to hold a clean UK driving licence with your own vehicle. You will be assigned a base site to work from, and travel between additional sites will be paid at 44p per mile.

Initially, the role will be offered on a part-time basis at 3 days per week, but with growth and expansion, it may increase to full-time. As this is a new role for the company, the role will develop over time, and with input from the F/S Coordinator on how we can best deliver and improve the offering we provide.

Main duties to include:

• Ensure all systems and student records are kept updated
• Enrolling learners to correct courses
• Creating learning plans
