Are you the kind of educator who sees the child behind the behaviour? Who understands that progress isn’t always measured in neat ticks and tidy grades but sometimes in trust, resilience, and small daily wins?

We’re looking for dedicated tutors in the Thurrock area who want more than just a timetable they want impact.

The Role

Most of our referrals are for secondary-aged pupils with SEMH and complex needs. These are young people who may have found mainstream education challenging and need consistent, skilled, and patient support to help them re-engage.

This isn’t a “turn up, deliver a worksheet, and leave” type of role.

It’s about:

* Building strong, professional relationships

* Creating structured, safe learning environments

* Supporting both academic progress and emotional regulation

* Being a steady, reliable presence

Availability

* Minimum 10–15 hours per week

* Core hours typically between 8:30am–3:30pm

* Monday to Friday availability required

Consistency is key for our pupils and for the wider professional team.

What Matters (Beyond Teaching)

Our tutors don’t just teach they communicate.

You’ll be responsible for:

* Accurate attendance reporting

* Monitoring and recording progress

* Providing updates that can be shared with schools and other professionals

* Maintaining clear, professional documentation

Your observations may directly inform EHCP reviews, school planning, and multi-agency decisions so attention to detail is essential.

Who We’re Looking For

You might come from:

* A tuition background

* A mainstream or specialist school

* Alternative provision

* Youth work or pastoral roles

What matters most:

* Strong behaviour management rooted in empathy

* Experience supporting SEMH or complex needs

* Professional communication skills

* Reliability and resilience

* The ability to work independently

If you understand that progress can look like:

* A student staying engaged for a full session

* Completing work without escalation

* Beginning to trust an adult again

…then you’ll fit right in.

Why Join Us?

* Meaningful, purposeful work

* Consistent daytime hours

* The opportunity to genuinely change educational journeys

* Supportive communication with a wider professional network

This is tutoring with depth, responsibility, and real impact.

If you’re ready to be the difference in a young person’s week and can commit to consistent hours in Thurrock we’d love to hear from you
