Job description

Are you a passionate, innovative and determined Home Tuition Teacher who believes every young person deserves the opportunity to thrive? Do you want to work in a role where your impact is visible every day — where individual breakthroughs happen, confidence grows, and students rediscover the enjoyment of learning?

At The Southover Partnership, we are looking for dedicated teachers who bring energy, optimism, flexibility and a genuine commitment to making a difference in the lives of some of the most vulnerable young people.

Our Home Tuition provision supports children and young people with special educational needs who may not currently be able to access education within a traditional school setting. Many of our students have experienced disrupted educational journeys and require a highly personalised, nurturing and flexible approach to learning.

As a Home Tuition Teacher, you will provide tailored teaching during school hours, working with students in their home and/or another agreed public or community setting. Depending on the individual placement, students may be supported on a one-to-one or two-to-one basis, including working alongside a Teaching Assistant where appropriate.

You will build strong, trusting relationships with students while delivering engaging and appropriately differentiated learning that responds to their individual educational, social and emotional needs. You will work closely with colleagues, families and other professionals to help students make progress, rebuild their confidence and develop the skills they need for their next steps.

If you thrive in a setting where no two students are the same, where relationships are at the heart of everything you do, and where your creativity, adaptability and resilience are valued, you will feel right at home within our Home Tuition team.

We are seeking teachers who are determined to raise aspirations, secure meaningful progress and empower young people to succeed — academically, socially, emotionally and in preparation for their future.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a good school where your work has purpose and your contribution truly matters. You will play a vital part in maintaining the high expectations, nurturing environment and holistic approach that our students and their families rely upon.

The Southover Partnership is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. We put children and their families at the centre of everything we do, operating with dignity and respect while working collaboratively as one organisation. All workers and employees within Southover are expected to share this commitment and uphold our values of Community, Accountability, Excellence, Respect and Collaboration in their daily practice.

We are looking for:

• A Home Tuition Teacher who is passionate about making a real difference to young people
• An inspiring and confident teacher who can deliver engaging, individualised learning
• Someone flexible, creative and able to adapt teaching to meet a wide range of individual needs
• A skilled relationship-builder who can establish trust with students who may have experienced barriers to education
• Someone able to work independently while remaining an active and positive member of the wider Southover team
• A resilient, patient and solution-focused practitioner
• Someone committed to safeguarding, professional boundaries and providing a safe learning environment for every student

What We Offer

• A warm, welcoming and supportive working environment where staff wellbeing really matters
• The opportunity to work closely with individual students and see the direct impact of your support
• Students who will surprise, challenge and inspire you — and with whom you can make exceptional progress
• A committed, solution-focused team who work collaboratively and celebrate each other’s strengths
• Support from experienced colleagues and school leaders
• A varied and highly rewarding role where you can have a transformational impact on young people’s lives
• The opportunity to use your creativity and professional judgement to provide personalised education outside of the traditional classroom environment
