A PLACE TO INSPIRE

Being part of Nottingham College means playing a vital part in helping thousands of people reach their potential. Together, we’re making a positive difference to our learners, to our communities and to each other. We’re building better futures, for others and for ourselves. Here, you’ll have the freedom to work in a way that suits you, the support to thrive and the opportunity to shape your career.
BEGIN (Basic Educational Guidance in Nottinghamshire) is a well-established partnership service providing advice and placement for ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages), and Functional Skills Maths and/or English courses. Nottingham College funds most of its work and the small team is a vital part of the College’s adult employability work.
BEGIN helps 3,500 to 4,000 people a year to find the right learning opportunities – from beginner levels to GCSE-equivalent levels. The service is integral to Nottingham College and also works with a wide range of external organisations to take enquiries, track people’s changing needs, and place them in a range of provision across Nottingham – including informal Language and Conversation Groups community courses, formal ESOL courses with exams, or Functional Skills Maths and English courses. A key function of our centralised ‘one-stop-shop’ model is to cut duplicate ESOL enquiries whilst finding the best available learning opportunities for people to ‘get started’.

We are expanding the team and are looking for 3 Advice, Information & Referral Officers to support this rewarding work, including:

• 1 full-time permanent post, 37 hours a week
• 1 full-time post, 37 hours a week. This post is fixed initially for one year, but expected to become permanent, funding-permitting.
• 1 part-time 0.6 full-time equivalent permanent post, 22.2 hours a week
