Clean Slate Training & Employment is a fast-growing social enterprise, facing up to the challenge of a spiralling cost-of-living crisis for hard-pressed households across the country. Last year, we enabled 3,000 people to share around £1.75 million by helping them increase their income and reduce expenditure. Now we are recruiting for a Community Tutor to join our brilliant team. You will deliver our training programmes online and in our Quids In Centres in East London, Bath, Bristol and Wales as required. Our Peer Workers and Clean Slate's Elements coach will be available to support you onsite and online.

Our Tutors work with people struggling with their finances: daunted by the cost of living crisis and at risk of debt, rent arears and potentially homelessness. You will support them to build their skills, take control of their finances and, at their own pace, find employment. This involves facilitating our one-day 3 Bs money skills training, and our two-day 7 Signs employment skills training. The training is interactive giving participants the tools they need to identify and overcome any barriers to take control of their finances and find work or better work. You will need to be willing to travel to our training venues, ideally with your own transport.

To succeed, you will be a great communicator with a natural coaching style and the ability to provide a service that is welcoming to all. You will have insight into the needs of vulnerable people from diverse backgrounds and understand the importance of confidentiality when working with personal information. You must be a competent user of Google/Office packages and web-based facilities, and an organised administrator. You will need a PGCE or equivalent teaching qualification, an understanding of discrimination, equality and diversity issues, including those not set out in law such as the ‘poverty premium’. The ability to speak Bengali, Polish, Romanian, Ukrainian or the language of another group affected by financial and digital exclusion would be an advantage. Sharing our values is essential, however. Can you join us in this promise to the parts of our community experiencing hardship: cleanslateltd.co.uk/our-promise

Your home must be in the UK as Clean Slate is not able to take on the administration of tax etc in jurisdictions outside the UK. Likewise you must already have the right to work in the UK as Clean Slate is not in a position to sponsor applicants to gain the right to work here.

The rate of pay for this job is £165 per half day and £285 per full day. Our culture is open and we encourage everyone to contribute to the direction of the organisation. If this sounds like a role where you could flourish, please apply by the end of Sunday 23 October 2022.
