Are you passionate about the power of creativity to inspire change? Do you believe in the role of art as a vehicle for self-expression, rehabilitation, and employability?
We’re looking for an enthusiastic and adaptable Art Tutor to deliver AIM and NCFE art qualifications (up to Level 2) to a small cohort of learners in a secure setting. You’ll play a key role in transforming lives through engaging, restorative art education that encourages personal growth, self-confidence, and future opportunities.
What you’ll do:
Deliver structured, engaging art lessons aligned with AIM and NCFE qualification standards.
Use adaptive teaching techniques to meet the varied needs of learners, including those with neurodivergent needs or mental health challenges.
Integrate restorative practices to create a safe, inclusive and reflective learning space.
Work closely with prison staff, key workers, and healthcare professionals to support holistic learner development.
Encourage creativity and pride by organising competitions and showcasing artwork throughout the prison.
Support learners to build employability and transferable skills through artistic projects and collaborative work.
Who we’re looking for:
Someone with a recognised Level 2 qualification in Art (or equivalent experience).
A confident, calm communicator with the ability to engage diverse groups in a challenging environment.
A creative educator who can inspire and adapt, making learning meaningful for each individual.
Ideally, someone with experience delivering accredited Art qualifications at Level 1 or 2 (though we’ll support the right person working towards a teaching qualification).
A strong team player who’s passionate about promoting literacy, inclusion, and self-development through the arts.
Why join us?
Make a tangible impact by using your creativity to support rehabilitation and reduce reoffending.
