Introducing the WEA staff in the Region
Tutors
Hundreds of skilled, experienced and dedicated part-time tutors represent the WEA's 'public face' in the region. The vast majority work with the WEA on a part-time basis. All WEA tutors work within guidelines about required quality standards for teaching and learning. They are subject to the scrutiny of the Adult Learning Inspectorate and the WEA's internal Observation of Teaching and Learning procedures.
We offer teacher training qualification courses within the region and some of our past students have become excellent tutors. More information about becoming a WEA tutor can be found at:
http://www.wea.org.uk/Jobs/060720_tutor.htm
WEA Organisers and Co-ordinators
WEA Organisers work with voluntary branches and local communities to manage and support courses in 16 local areas in the region. You can find the names of local Organisers in your area by following the relevant links in the Regional Map section of this website. Check that all 16 local areas are on the list next to the Regional Map. Organisers represent the WEA within the community networks where they work and also represent those communities within the WEA. As well as their geographical responsibilities, Organisers are all members of curriculum groups with subject specialisms and have responsibilities for specific themes such as mental health, students with learning disabilities, learning support or learning technology. Organisers work in 5 Area Teams across the region, each with a Regional Education Manager (See the Management section for more details).
Some educational staff have cross-regional roles.
Dory Glynn and Sharon Watson are the region's Skills for Life Co-ordinators, while Brian Chadwick is the Workplace Learning Co-ordinator.
Barry Kaye is the Regional Health and Safety Co-ordinator.

Other 'front line staff'
You might meet créche workers, caretakers and support staff in the centres where you learn, but, as we use other organisations' venues extensively, it is not unusual for your tutor to be the only WEA employee in the centre where your course is held. We rarely have on-site administrative staff as we are a charity and try to keep overhead costs as low as possible.
The only centres with on-site administrative staff are:
- Bentley Resource Centre
- Clare House
- Rotherham Learning Centre
- Sheffield Learning Centre

Staff Based at Sheffield Learning Centre
There is a high concentration of courses in South Yorkshire, so we have an administrative team based in Sheffield Learning Centre who can offer local support services. They also have responsibilities for some cross-regional functions.
