Overview

Clackmannanshire Economic Regeneration Trust (SCIO) – CERT – is a small, innovative charity established to help Clackmannanshire to become a vibrant place to live where people are happy, healthy and where opportunities, connections and support are available for all.  In 2022, CERT completed the delivery of a major Pre Employability programme in Clacks and are now contracted to deliver the Multiply programme in Clacks as well as part of Positive Moves, the Shared Prosperity Fund People and Skills programme.

MULTIPLY is a UK Government initiative to boost people’s ability to use maths in their everyday life and work, or go on to achieve qualifications which open doors to further learning or employment.  In Clackmannanshire Multiply will deliver support to participants across a range of characteristics and locations and at different levels.  Recognising that poor numeracy skills are often an integral part of wider core skills gaps such as literacy and communications, CERT are delivering the Multiply programme in a holistic manner so that its participants are provided support to address all these areas.  We are currently supporting c100 participants.

CERT are looking to recruit passionate and dedicated individuals to work within this holistic Multiply programme, who can inspire and motivate a diverse range of adult learners in community settings around Clackmannanshire.

The Multiply Sessional Tutor will deliver non-certified courses which aim to increase confidence and competence in everyday life in numeracy, maths, literacy and communication.  The role will involve engaging with residents of Clackmannanshire who have a wide and diverse range of numeracy levels to provide them with skills and confidence with numbers which will enrich their lives and support their onwards development.

The programme will include courses for parents, those seeking to improve their money management, those with experience of criminal justice, those in community settings, and others.  These will be delivered through workshops with small groups, up to 10.

There may also be need for one to one tutoring and the delivery of SQA accredited courses (level 2, 3, and 4).

CERT are now looking to appoint a number of Multiply Sessional Tutors to undertake this role.
