Connex Education Partnership is a dedicated and specialised provider of educational professionals in various education settings.

You will predominantly support children who are currently not accessing mainstream or specialist school placements, delivering personalised, one-to-one tuition in their homes.

The children you will support have EHCPs and require additional provision due to hearing impairments, autism, complex learning needs, or SEMH challenges. A strong ability to communicate using British Sign Language is essential to support accessibility and engagement.

This role requires flexibility, creativity, and the ability to adapt teaching approaches to suit each learner.

This role will require Mon-Fri availability, 2 hours per day. This is a minimum, and more hours are encouraged for those interested. Various roles are available within the West Midlands area, including but not limited to: Birmingham, Lichfield, Sutton Coldfield, Harborne, Wolverhampton & more.

• A genuine passion for supporting children who require alternative provision.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with families and professionals.

• Financial security: Guaranteed minimum of 10 hours' pay per week per child, including 2 hours of paid preparation time.
• Freedom to teach your way: Sessions are fully tailored to each child's EHCP, allowing for creative, child-led approaches.
