We have a great opportunity to join our Education team as a Cover Trainer for Novus, our prison education provider at HMP Feltham.
The vision for the Education, Skills, and Work provision at HMP Feltham is to ensure that Prisoners in our care realise their full potential through Education, Skills and Work.

What the role entails
In this role, you will work with, and be supported by, our amazing team of dedicated professionals to mentor our learners to develop Catering & Hospitality skills, which will in turn help them to secure future employment opportunities post release. You will need patience, passion and understanding in your approach to our learners who have ‘hit a bump in the road’ but want to learn and improve.
Working in a prison is different to a mainstream education facility. We operate with security at the forefront of what we do, so our class sizes are small to maximise supportive delivery.
