We are seeking a dedicated and passionate Maths & English Tutor/Teacher to join our team within a small, specialist alternative provision. This role is based primarily at our Thurston site, working alongside a team of skilled facilitators to deliver a bespoke, therapeutic and vocational curriculum.

The position will focus mainly on Functional Skills delivery, with some GCSE teaching where appropriate (or a willingness to develop in this area). You will support students with a range of needs, including SEND, helping them to re-engage with education and build confidence in core subjects.

Sessions take place during school hours, 3-5 days per week during term-time only.

• Deliver one-to-one and small group sessions in Maths and English, tailored to individual needs
• Plan and implement engaging, differentiated lessons, primarily at Functional Skills level, with some GCSE content
• Support students in understanding key concepts and improving academic outcomes
• Create a positive, nurturing learning environment that builds confidence and engagement
• Use a relational, trauma-informed approach to support behaviour and wellbeing
• Track and communicate student progress with the Specialism Coordinator
• Maintain accurate records and adapt teaching strategies accordingly
• Contribute to EHCP reviews, reports and personalised provision planning
• Work collaboratively with colleagues to provide holistic support for learners

We are looking for someone who:

• Has strong knowledge of Maths and/or English (Functional Skills and GCSE)
• Is passionate about working in an alternative provision setting
• Can engage and support learners with SEND and varied learning needs
• Is patient, empathetic, and committed to building positive relationships
• Is flexible, creative, and able to adapt teaching approaches

• QTS, PGCE or equivalent - preferred but not essential
• Alternatively, relevant tutoring or teaching experience will be considered where strong practical skills are demonstrated
• Confidence delivering core subjects at GCSE level (or willingness to develop)
• Experience working with SEND students - desirable
• Strong communication and organisational skills
• Enhanced DBS (within 12 months) or willingness to obtain one

• Be part of a small, supportive team making a genuine impact
• Deliver a bespoke curriculum combining academic, therapeutic and vocational learning
• Opportunity to build meaningful relationships with students
• Work in a setting that prioritises engagement, wellbeing and individual progress
