About the Role:

We are seeking passionate and dedicated EYFS Tutors to provide personalised, face-to-face learning support for young children in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). This role involves working with children who may have a range of additional needs and early developmental delays, offering targeted, child-led interventions to build the foundations of lifelong learning.

As an EYFS Tutor, you will play a vital role in a child’s early education journey by creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment. This is a highly rewarding opportunity to positively influence children’s cognitive, social, and emotional development at a crucial stage of their lives.

• Create a nurturing, inclusive learning environment tailored to each child’s stage and interests

• Track developmental progress and provide simple feedback to families and/or professionals

• Adapt teaching and play-based activities to meet each child’s individual needs

Qualifications:

• Recognised Early Years or Teaching qualification (e.g., QTS, EYTS, Level 3 Early Years Educator)

• Sound knowledge of the EYFS curriculum and child development

• Prior experience working with children aged 3–5 in educational or childcare settings

• SEN/SEMH experience is highly desirable

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills

• Creative, patient, and child-led approach

Requirements:

• Relevant qualification in education or early years

• Enhanced DBS check (or willingness to obtain one)

• Ability to travel locally within Leeds

• Flexibility to deliver sessions between Monday and Friday

• Experience working with young children with additional needs

Benefits:

• Flexible working hours to suit your availability

• Opportunities for ongoing professional development and training

• A highly rewarding role with the chance to make a lasting impact on young children’s lives

• Access to our Tutor Toolkit skills development package (over 34 CPD courses)

• Ongoing support through our quality assurance and mentoring programme

• Funded qualifications (e.g., Level 3 Teaching & Learning, Level 5 TEFL)

• Weekly PAYE pay and competitive rates

• Pathway to a professional freelance tutor career
