As an approved Alternative Provision provider, we support learners who are currently unable to access mainstream education for a variety of reasons. This is a rewarding opportunity to work closely with young people who may have experienced barriers to education and help them re-engage with learning, rebuild their confidence and make meaningful progress.

Sessions are generally delivered in learners' homes or suitable community settings during school hours, providing a safe and supportive environment tailored to each learner.

• Social, emotional and behavioural challenges
• School refusal or disengagement from education

We are looking for tutors who are confident working with learners who may have struggled within mainstream education. The ability to build trusting relationships, establish routines and adapt your approach is essential.

• Build confidence, resilience, independence and self-esteem
• Establish positive and consistent relationships with learners
• Provide encouragement and pastoral support where appropriate
• Monitor progress and adapt your approach to help learners achieve their educational goals
• Work flexibly during school hours, Monday to Friday
• Deliver tuition in learners' homes or appropriate community settings

We are particularly interested in hearing from tutors based in Uxbridge, Hayes, West Drayton, Ickenham, Ruislip, Northwood, Hillingdon, Yiewsley, Cowley and the surrounding areas, where we are seeing an increasing number of learner referrals.

• Experience teaching, tutoring or supporting children and young people
• Experience working with learners who have SEND, SEMH or additional needs
• Experience working with young people who may be disengaged from mainstream education
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
