About Morley College London

Established in 1889, and with our roots stretching back even further, Morley College London is one of the country's oldest and largest specialist providers of adult education. We provide long-term, sustainable and affordable programmes of lifelong learning across three centres – North Kensington, Chelsea and Waterloo – including 16-19 provision at North Kensington and Chelsea.

As one of only nine Specialist Designated Institutions (SDIs) in the UK, we serve more than 17,000 students through a coherent, student-centred course offer, underpinned by our mission to empower individuals and strengthen communities through education in Arts, Culture and Applied Sciences. Whether studying for personal development and well-being, to gain essential skills (English, Maths, IT), to access higher education, or for career development or change, our vision is for ambitions to be inspired and achieved through learning.

Following Morley College’s merger with Kensington and Chelsea College in February 2020, the College is reshaping its curriculum and professional service teams to facilitate an ambitious plan for development and growth. As the UK looks to a post-COVID recovery, Morley College London is more determined than ever before to support Londoners to learn, and so we are looking for applications from talented individuals with energy and enthusiasm.

About Community Learning at Morley

Morley’s community learning service is responsible for delivering courses and engagement activities for our most vulnerable communities, across the boroughs of Lambeth, Southwark and Kensington & Chelsea.  This provision continues the socially driven mission of our founders, Emma Cons and Samuel Morley, who created the college to help address local disadvantage.   The community learning service works in partnership with local authorities, children’s centres, and voluntary sector organisations in order to reach local residents who may lack the confidence, skills or financial resources to enrol at our three larger college centres.

About the Role

We are looking for a highly skilled, diligent and experienced individual to join our new community learning team, based at the Stockwell Centre.

The purpose of the role is to ensure that we meet the requirements of our funding contracts for community learning (including from Lambeth Council, Kensington & Chelsea Council and the GLA Multiply programme).  This includes the provision and analysis of data and ensuring the accuracy of the contractual evidence (such as registers, learning plans, course files) provided by tutors and managers.

We are looking for someone with experience of embedding and maintaining accurate systems within an educational environment.  You will have experience of working with spreadsheets and / or management information systems, and be able to use these to monitor and analyse data.  You have an eye for accuracy and data, and also enjoy working with colleagues and partnership organisations to develop and source the evidence that is needed.   You will be an effective communicator, skilled at balancing a diverse workload, good at working with data, solution focused and a good team player.  An Enhanced DBS is required for this role.
