NOAH is a charity that helps people experiencing homelessness, extreme poverty, and other disadvantages to make positive changes in their lives. We do this by providing care and advice services, training and wellbeing workshops, and opportunities for employment.

We are truly driven by our values of Care, Compassion, and Commitment, which have their roots in Saint Vincent de Paul, whose life was the inspiration behind the founding of NOAH. We seek to recruit trustees, staff, and volunteers who are committed to, and actively live out these values. We are a Living Wage Foundation Employer and are committed to promoting wellbeing and a work-life balance amongst our staff.

Qualified ESOL Teachers (Self-Employed Contractors)

NOAH Academy delivers ESOL training throughout Bedfordshire as part of our work to help those who are disadvantaged and marginalised. Our ESOL training work touches the lives of those who may be looking for work, struggling with mental health or emotional problems, refugees, or who have a history of homelessness.

We are looking to partner with qualified Self-Employed ESOL teachers to deliver this work in Luton, Central Bedfordshire and Bedford.

Our creative and interactive ESOL classes are either in-person or online, with students ranging from Pre-Entry to Entry Level 3. A number of our learners have lived experience of disadvantage or social marginalisation, and therefore it is important that our tutors can demonstrate NOAH’s core values of Care, Compassion and Commitment in the classroom.

A number of part time and ad-hoc opportunities are available across Bedfordshire.

Please contact NOAH Academy for more information or to forward your CV.
