Job Description
This role is ideal for a tutor who understands the importance of relationship-building, emotional safety, and flexible learning, and who is confident supporting a learner who is not currently accessing a mainstream school setting.
The Role
- Provide 1:1 tuition in a low-pressure, student-led environment
- Prioritise building trust and confidence before introducing academic learning
- Support gradual re-engagement with education
- Adapt learning to suit the individual's pace, interests, and emotional needs
- Introduce academic content sensitively once the learner is ready
- Encourage motivation and positive attitudes towards future learning and qualifications
Essential Requirements

- Ability to build positive relationships with young people
- Patient, flexible, and emotionally aware approach
- Confidence working 1:1 and adapting sessions as needed
Desirable Experience
- Experience supporting pupils with EBSA
- Experience working with SEN, including anxiety-related needs
- Background in alternative provision, home tutoring, or pastoral support
What We're Looking For
- A tutor who won't rush into academics
- Someone who can create a safe, calm, and predictable learning environment
- A reflective practitioner who adapts their approach based on what works for the student
- Someone who values progress in confidence and engagement as much as academic outcomes
If you are passionate about supporting young people who face barriers to education and can offer a calm, nurturing 1:1 approach, we would love to hear from you.
