• Plan and deliver tailored lessons, primarily across core subjects, for pupils with a variety of needs including medical conditions, anxiety, SEN, or school refusal.
• Work 1:1 or with small groups in community settings or through online teaching.
• Build strong, trusting relationships to help re-engage learners with education.
• Liaise with families, schools, external professionals, and the local authority to ensure effective support.
• Record progress, set personalised goals, and contribute to EHCP reviews where appropriate.

• Hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent.
• Experience working with vulnerable learners, SEN, or those with social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs.
• Highly adaptable, self-motivated, and confident working independently.
• Possess excellent interpersonal, organisational, and safeguarding awareness.
• Committed to promoting pupil wellbeing, resilience, and positive outcomes.

• Experience with home or hospital tuition, outreach work, or alternative provision.
• Knowledge of trauma-informed practice or mental health support strategies.
• Access to a vehicle and willingness to travel locally (mileage reimbursed).

• A supportive and forward-thinking team environment.
• A varied and fulfilling teaching role with autonomy and impact.
• Ongoing training and CPD opportunities tailored to community-based education.
• Flexible working approaches within a structured framework.
