Permament / Term-time - From September 2026

Are you passionate about helping students who've been struggling in mainstream education rediscover their love of learning?  

Want to make a real difference through personalised tutoring with young people who need you most? 

 We offer our tutors: 

Dedicated time for planning, so you’re not rushing or taking work home – supporting a healthy work-life balance  

Access to shared resources, making session preparation easier and more collaborative  

Variety in your day-to-day work, with different students and topics keeping the role engaging and interesting 

A friendly, supportive and positive working culture where tutors feel welcomed, valued and encouraged.   

 About The Role: 

You'll work 1:1 with young people who have complex needs – they may have EHCPs, additional learning needs, or SEMH challenges that prevent them from thriving in traditional classroom settings. Many of our students have been out of education for significant periods and need a patient, creative approach to help them re-engage with learning. 

Sessions are guided by the young person's interests and might include sports activities, outdoor adventures, visits to places of interest, practical skills workshops, or simply hanging out and talking 

over a coffee or while walking.
