Are you passionate about helping others gain the practical skills they need to succeed in everyday life?

We’re looking for experienced and enthusiastic Functional Skills Tutors to support learners in the Trafford (M16) area who are currently outside of mainstream education. Many of these young people face challenges such as anxiety, SEN, or disrupted schooling and need a supportive one-to-one approach to help them re-engage with learning.

We’re especially keen to hear from people who:

• Have experience teaching or tutoring Functional Skills or core literacy/numeracy

• Are confident working independently with learners with varying needs

• Can adapt teaching style to suit the pupil's pace and ability

• Have an understanding of barriers to education, including SEN, SEMH or low confidence

• Want to make a difference in a more flexible, community-based role

✔ Control over your diary and caseload
✔ Weekly pay through a reputable education provider
