Job description

Monday to Thursday - Two students, 1 AM and 1 PM each day ongoing

Outreach tutoring - without being left to figure everything out yourself.

Working one-to-one with a young person can be incredibly rewarding.

But it also comes with responsibility.

What do you teach? Where are the resources? Who do you speak to if you're concerned about something? What happens if the student doesn't attend?

This outreach service has thought about those things.

We're recruiting Qualified Tutors across Chelmsford to deliver individualised education to young people who require an alternative to conventional classroom-based learning.

And importantly, this is an alternative education service - not a recruitment agency.

One Student. Three Hours, Four Days a week. Or Build a Full Week.

The working pattern is unusually flexible.

You could support one student for two hours per day, Monday to Friday, or build your availability up to six hours per day, five days per week.

That makes the opportunity suitable for tutors looking for anything from a smaller regular commitment to a substantial weekly timetable.

You’ll work predominantly one-to-one, adapting learning around the student's ability, circumstances and individual objectives. Support English and Maths Functional Skills and more.

What You’ll Actually Be Responsible For

You’ll plan and deliver appropriate learning for the young person you're supporting.

Pre-planned lessons and resources are available through the service's resources, but you'll use your professional judgement to adapt them for the individual student.

You'll:

• - Deliver structured 1:1 tuition
• - Adapt learning around individual starting points and needs
• - Use provided lesson plans, resources and curriculum objectives
• - Create additional activities where appropriate
• - Build engagement with pupils who may have experienced barriers to education
• - Monitor academic progress
• - Maintain accurate records
• - Provide regular feedback
• - Communicate appropriately with families and other professionals
• - Attend relevant meetings and training

You're Working Independently - But You're Not On Your Own

That's an important distinction.

Outreach naturally involves spending significant time working directly with a young person away from a conventional classroom team.

You'll receive:

• - A full induction
• - Initial risk-assessment support from a Lead Tutor
• - Ongoing access to experienced Tutors
• - Support from Line Managers
• - Access to Designated Safeguarding Leads
• - A curriculum hub containing resources, objectives and lesson plans
• - Full access to CPD courses, IT Support, Experienced SLT and Coordinators
• - Fast onboarding to get started straight after half term

You'll also continue to be paid when your student is off sick, providing greater consistency than many sessional tutoring arrangements.

LT Support is acting as an extension of the service to help streamline recruitment, with the opportunity for suitable candidates to pre-qualify for the role immediately.

Who Are We Looking For?

Your background might be in teaching, tutoring, intervention work or alternative provision.

Previous outreach or one-to-one experience would be particularly useful, but what matters is that you're confident taking responsibility for an individual student's learning.

You’ll need:

• - Relevant teaching, tutoring or intervention experience
• - Confidence building rapport one-to-one
• - The ability to adapt teaching to different starting points
• - Good organisation and record keeping
• - Creativity when conventional approaches aren't working
• - Professional judgement and appropriate boundaries
• - A strong understanding of safeguarding responsibilities
