Job Description

About the Role

We are collaborating closely with a well-established secondary school whose students require a flexible approach to learning support. Provision may include:

  • Support delivered onsite within the school environment

  • Offsite sessions, including tuition at a pupils home

  • Online sessions where appropriate

The students are of secondary school age and may present with:

  • Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs

  • Additional learning needs

  • Complex educational profiles requiring consistency and clear boundaries

  • Reduced timetables or placement within alternative provision pathways

Your role will involve delivering structured academic sessions while also helping pupils regulate emotions, rebuild confidence, and re-engage with their learning.

Availability Requirements

  • A minimum commitment of 1015 hours per week

  • Sessions typically scheduled between 8:30am and 3:30pm

  • Availability Monday to Friday

  • In-person delivery is essential (with some scope for online work)

Flexibility is valued, but consistency is essential. Many of these pupils depend heavily on routine and predictable support.

Professional Expectations

This position demands a high level of professionalism and accountability. Tutors will be required to:

  • Accurately record attendance

  • Track and document academic progress and engagement

  • Provide clear, structured feedback for school staff and relevant professionals

  • Maintain strong safeguarding awareness and clear professional boundaries

Your documentation may contribute to wider school strategies and multi-agency decision-making, so precision and reliability are critical.

Ideal Candidates Will Have Experience In:

  • Mainstream or specialist secondary education

  • Alternative provision settings

  • Private tuition

  • Pastoral support, mentoring, or youth-focused roles

You should be able to demonstrate:

  • Effective behaviour management grounded in empathy

  • Experience supporting pupils with SEMH or complex needs

  • Confidence working independently across varied environments

  • Strong communication and professional reporting skills

  • Emotional resilience and sound judgement

Why This Work Is Important

For some pupils, progress is measured through completed assignments and academic attainment.

For others, progress may mean:

  • Improved attendance

  • Emotional regulation within a session

  • Renewed trust in education
