These roles will involve working flexible hours, so would be great for Teachers who are looking to work flexible hours.

The tuition can take place in the young person's home, their residential care home, or an agreed public venue. Many children in LAC have faced adversity in their lives and therefore can often experience a variety of Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) difficulties, causing them to demonstrate challenging behaviour that at times impacts their learning.

• Have a QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) or significant tutoring experience
• The ability to work flexible hours and build strong working relationships with pupils
• The passion to support vulnerable children who have been unable to participate in mainstream education
