Whether your expertise is in primary education, secondary subjects, GCSE preparation or Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), you'll have the opportunity to make a real difference while enjoying flexible working arrangements.

You'll provide one-to-one educational support in pupils' homes, schools and alternative education settings, helping learners strengthen their knowledge, improve engagement and develop confidence in their abilities.

What You'll Bring to the Role

• Deliver tailored lessons that meet individual learning needs and educational targets.
• Support pupils with primary and secondary subjects, GCSEs and Functional Skills.
• Prepare engaging learning materials and adapt teaching methods to suit different abilities.
• Help learners catch up with missed education, prepare for examinations and strengthen core skills.
• Encourage positive behaviour, motivation, independence and active participation.
• Monitor pupil progress and maintain accurate records of learning outcomes.
• Work collaboratively with parents, carers, schools and other professionals.
• Follow safeguarding policies and child protection procedures at all times.
