Are you passionate about unlocking potential and transforming lives?

As our English and Maths s Tutor, you will play a pivotal role in reigniting young people's confidence and curiosity in learning.

You'll work with 16–19-year-olds (Up to 25 with EHCP) on our Study Programme—who may have faced barriers to success in traditional classrooms.

Through engaging, student-centred teaching, creative planning, and a genuine belief in every learner's ability, you'll help them discover that Maths and English aren't just subjects to pass, but skills to proudly own for life. This is more than a teaching role; it's an opportunity to build trusting relationships, celebrate small victories, and inspire young people to see their own potential, resilience, and future opportunities in every lesson.

Pay & Reward Framework

We know that our colleagues go above and beyond in delivering our vital work, driven by their passion and commitment to Barnardo's values. We also know that we can only realise our ambitions and achieve better outcomes for more children, thanks to the talent, hard work and creativity of our people.

For all these reasons, we are committed to a new approach to pay and reward, to ensure it is fair, attractive and progressive, which was rolled out in April 2023. This is a positive change for the charity, and a part of our People & Culture Strategy. It will assist us in supporting colleagues to belong, thrive and grow in their colleague journey at Barnardo's and in time will offer clear routes of progression for colleagues in both their career and their pay.

Whilst the full pay band and salary range is advertised, our approach to starting salaries is to appoint between the minimum to mid-point of the pay band – this ensures that pay steps are available to reward our colleagues annually based on their contribution to excellence and alignment to our values and behaviours.
