Many of the students we support are working towards reintegration into education and benefit from a calm, consistent, and supportive approach. The role is ideal for tutors who are confident supporting emotional wellbeing alongside academic progress, and who can adapt their teaching to meet individual needs.

• Create a safe, structured, and encouraging learning environment
• Record attendance, progress, and engagement
• Communicate updates to parents/carers and the Prospero Teaching team

Role Details

• Pay Rate: Up to £30 per hour (dependent on experience and qualifications)
• Hours: Between 3 and 15 hours per week
• Start Date: ASAP
• Location: North Shields, Tyne and Wear
• Contract: Part‑time, flexible hours
• Additional Benefits: Access to Prospero Teaching's Resource Hub and CPD‑accredited training

Requirements

• Right to work in the UK
• Enhanced DBS certificate on the child workforce (Update Service or willing to apply)
• Two professional references covering the last two years
