Functional Skills Tutor

Prospero Teaching; Blackpool; On-site; GBP 40,000 - 60,000; Part time

Job description

Prospero teaching is looking for tutors to work with schools, Local Authorities and Virtual Schools Teams across the North West.

As well as private enquiries, we work mainly with LAC and students who are often experiencing a range of Social, Emotional and Mental Health difficulties and who are not often working to age-related levels. Therefore, it would be ideal if you have some experience in this field.

We are building a strong, professional and reliable team in areas such as Blackpool, Fleetwood, Thornton Cleveleys and Preston. If you hold a certificate in education or above and have a passion for working with a variety of young learners, then we need you to join our team!

Tuition takes place generally in school daytime hours, but also a popular time is after school 3-4pm and evening. Sessions can range between 1 - 4 hours on a daily or weekly basis. Sessions can be in a student's home, school, or care home.

When a referral is made, tuition needs to be put in place as soon as possible; therefore, you need to be flexible and contactable. The more flexible you can be, the more we can build up your timetable!

The individual needs to be good at working independently when tutoring off-site; therefore, it is vital that they are organised, punctual, and reliable. We have grown through our reputation, so it is precious to us that this continues.
