Activate Learning are currently looking for experienced Ceramicists to join our Learning for Leisure team based at Woodley Hill House and Reading College.

Whether you are an experienced tutor or an individual that can confidently deliver practical workshops, then why not consider showcasing your skills by becoming a role model to a diverse group of learners from all ages, including adults and young learners who display a passion for creative arts.

We have various short-term courses available that require tutors with a ceramics background to deliver on courses in our established Woodley Hill House premises. We have opportunities for daytime, evening, and Saturday courses.

What do you need to be a successful Ceramics Learning for Leisure Tutor at Activate Learning?

Ideally, you will hold a teacher's qualification or have experience of teaching within an education setting, such as National Saturday Club, Schools, or youth clubs.

Your communication and interpersonal skills will be outstanding and support your ability to deliver interesting, fun, and purposeful lessons to adults.

You will be joining an established and supportive team within our Learning for Leisure and Community Learning provision on a casual contract basis. Our positions offer a variety of flexible working patterns such as daytime, evenings, and weekends depending on the scheduled timetable.
