Now Hiring: Part-Time Accounting & Employability Tutor

Location: In-person teaching in Grantham, with some online learner support
Hours: 12–20 per week (flexible to suit the right person)
Pay: £13.50 per hour to start, depending on experience
Contract: Employed or freelance, depending on your situation

 

We’re 3cats – a growing, down-to-earth training provider supporting adults to upskill, rebuild confidence, and get back into work.
We help people who often feel left behind by traditional education – adults who may be anxious, underemployed, or just in need of a new direction. We focus on bookkeeping, accounting and employability – practical skills with real value.

We’re looking for a new part-time tutor to help us deliver small group learning in Grantham and support some learners online.

 

This could be ideal for you if...

  • You want rewarding, meaningful work in adult education

  • You enjoy helping people succeed, especially those who doubt themselves

  • You need a flexible role that fits around other responsibilities

  • You’re open to growing with us as our organisation develops

 

You might be...

  • A qualified tutor who’s comfortable teaching adults

  • A bookkeeper or accountant with a knack for explaining things clearly

  • Someone changing careers and looking for purpose-driven work

  • A warm, patient, organised person who believes in second chances

Whether you’re experienced in teaching or accounting (or both), we’re open to supporting the right person to gain the qualification they’re missing.

 

You’ll be doing things like:

  • Teaching small groups of adult learners in person (predominantly in Grantham)

  • Providing online support to help learners stay on track

  • Tracking progress, giving feedback, and cheering on the wins

  • Helping with light admin – no death-by-spreadsheet here

  • Bringing a calm, kind presence to the classroom

 

We’d love it if you had:

  • A Level 2 or above qualification in accounting/bookkeeping (AAT, IAB, ICB, etc.)

  • A teaching qualification (AET/PTLLS or above) – or willingness to train

  • Experience supporting adults in any context – education, mentoring, employment

  • Good basic tech skills (email, Zoom, Word/Excel, Teams etc.)

  • A team spirit and a “let’s make it work” approach

 

What we offer:

  • A genuinely friendly, learner-focused organisation

  • School-friendly hours and flexible working

  • The chance to grow your role as we expand

  • A supportive team culture – ideas welcome, jargon optional

 

How to apply

Email info@3cats.org.uk with your CV and a short message telling us:

  • Why you’re interested in the role

  • What your background is (teaching, accounting or both)

  • Your preferred working days/hours

Applications reviewed from 20th June 2025. Informal interviews will follow.

 

A quick note from us:

We know applying for jobs can feel daunting — especially if you’ve been out of the classroom or are trying something new. If you’re not sure you tick every box but feel this role could be a good fit, we’d still love to hear from you.
