Job description

What will you be tutoring?

The vast majority of our tuition referrals are for English and Maths. A lot of our students are working below the expected age range, and the delivery of learning will be at a KS1‑KS4 level.

When and where will you be tutoring?

Our tuition can be held in a number of places:

• Within schools
• Within public places
• Within students' homes
• All of the above locations, always with an appropriate adult present—parent, carer, or guardian.

Most tuition takes place during school hours, 9am‑4pm, and our clients are very flexible on timings. When a role becomes available, we’ll come to you as the tutor to set timings for when you’d like to take on the hours.

What qualifications do you need?

With our tuition roles, you do not need to be a qualified teacher. We usually ask that you have some form of higher education.

We’d also expect candidates to have some prior experience within education; at least 6 months working in a school or educational setting, such as a teacher, teaching assistant, or in a pastoral or support role. Experience in SEND is appreciated.

How do I get started?

1. Complete our registration form.
2. Have a short interview with one of our team members.
3. Work through compliance to ensure all required documents and vetting checks are complete.
4. Get started within a role.

Our registration process ensures that we are following safer recruitment guidelines and safeguarding the students that we work with.

Minimum requirement documents

• Hold Right to Work within the UK (note: as a recruitment agency, we cannot register people with sponsorship visas).
• An enhanced DBS registered on the update service (recommended but not required; you can apply through us).
• References covering 2 years (a full 24 months) of employment, plus references for any work with children or vulnerable adults in the last two years.

Location & Pay

Location: Dorset

Pay: £20–30 per hour (depending on experience)
