Job description

Who are we?

TCHC Group has been creating opportunities since 2004, supporting young people and adults to learn, achieve and progress. We're an ethical, friendly, and disability-confident employer that believes in working together to make a difference.

TCHC is a disability confident, committed employer.

Who are we looking for?

Are you an experienced educator with a passion for supporting learners with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)? Do you understand the difference between mainstream teaching and working with high needs learners in a classroom setting?

At Peterborough GAPS, we deliver tailored education to young people with a range of complex needs, including global developmental delay, Down syndrome, dyslexia, autism, ADHD, severe learning difficulties, and social communication challenges. Our learners work at a slower pace and often require additional support with communication and emotional regulation.

We are currently seeking a Functional Skills Maths Tutor to deliver Entry Level 1-3 and Level 1 & 2 Functional Skills Maths in small group settings (up to 12 learners). This is not a mainstream role - it requires someone who is patient, adaptable, and confident in managing a classroom of learners with diverse and high needs.
