Job description

1:1 Tutor – Supporting Permanently Excluded Students

Location: Darlington
Delivery: Face-to-face and online tuition
Ideal for: Qualified teachers/educators looking for flexible, part-time work

Some young people need more than a timetable and a classroom. They need patience, consistency, and someone who believes in them, even when school hasn’t worked out.

We’re looking for experienced 1:1 Tutors to support permanently excluded (PEX) students across the Darlington area. This role is ideal for qualified teachers who want flexible, meaningful work that fits around other commitments.

The role: You’ll deliver personalised 1:1 tuition to students in their homes or local community settings such as libraries and community hubs. Sessions can be face-to-face or online, depending on need. This is about rebuilding confidence, re‑engaging learners, and making progress at the student’s pace.

Who this role suits:

• Qualified teachers (QTS, QTLS or equivalent)
• Teachers stepping back from full-time classroom roles
• Educators looking for part‑time, flexible work with real impact

What we’re looking for:

• Qualified teacher status or equivalent teaching qualification
• Previous experience providing tuition or working 1:1 with permanently excluded students
• A calm, resilient approach and confidence working with complex needs and behaviours
• Ability to plan and deliver tailored learning sessions
• A full driving licence and access to a car, due to travel across the Darlington area
• A genuine commitment to relationship‑led education

Why work with Protocol Education:

• Weekly pay through PAYE, no umbrella companies
• Flexible, part‑time opportunities that work around you
• FREE access to our online CPD Academy
• Dedicated local consultant support, no call centre vibes
• Opportunities across alternative provision, SEND, and intervention work

If you’re Thrive trained, great. If not, we offer FREE Thrive training, a huge bonus when supporting PEX students and highly valued by schools and alternative provisions.

If you believe that education doesn’t always look traditional, and that progress starts with trust, we’d love to hear from you.
