Education & Skills
To encourage teachers into the FE sector, we are offering English, Maths and STEM specialists a four-day compressed working week. The ground-breaking pilot scheme will offer candidates the opportunity to compress their full-time hours into four days. Timetables will be developed to fit this working pattern, supporting teachers with an improved work-life balance. In addition, the college is offering competitive salaries and a generous annual leave package. Commenting on the innovative approach to recruitment, College Principal Asfa Solail, says: “By introducing the option of a compressed four-day week, alongside the many other benefits on offer, we hope to increase the number of potential candidates and secure the talent we need to continue delivering high quality maths, English and STEM teaching. “As an organisation, we are committed to the mental health and wellbeing of all staff. Work-life balance and managing workload are a huge part of this – so we hope that offering a four-day working week will be an attractive option for many people. “Going forward, we are keen to explore further options for more flexible working across our whole workforce – including home-based and hybrid support roles. We must support people’s changing lifestyle needs while meeting the needs of our business and, ultimately, our students and communities.” Recruitment events for prospective English and maths teachers will be taking place at London South East Colleges over the summer and vacancies can be found here: www.lsec.ac.uk/work-for-us To find out more and to discuss the career opportunities on offer, contact the College’s HR team at: HR@lsec.ac.uk

Case study: Susan Cavell Adult student Susan decided to use her spare time to develop a new hobby in which she could develop some new creative skills. At this time Susan had also inherited several pieces of Chinaware from her mother and decided that she could put them to good use by repurposing them, which is when she signed up for the part-time mosaics class at Greenwich Park Centre.
