Numeracy Skills Instructor

Do you have a background in a vocational skill such as DIY, cooking, crafting or sport? Do you want to pass on those skills and support individuals to develop and gain confidence in using numbers at the same time?

We are looking for individuals who are passionate about numbers to join our Project Multiply team, to train and mentor individuals and small groups in various locations in the community who want to develop their numeracy skills. Instructors will be encouraged to be creative in introducing and developing numeracy skills by linking these skills with everyday life skills you already have, e.g. cooking, gardening, DIY, supporting children with their homework etc.

Multiply is an innovative project which provides numeracy courses for adults in Gwynedd, Anglesey, Conwy and Denbigh in order to increase their numeracy skills or to work towards a qualification. The project is funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

The instructor will be representing Grŵp Llandrillo Menai's Adult and Community Learning team and will be expected to promote the courses and training offered, to encourage recruitment onto further development opportunities.
