Job description

Do you have a passion for supporting young people and helping them re-engage with education? Tradewind Recruitment are currently looking for compassionate and flexible 1:1 Tutors to support children in alternative provisions across the North Yorkshire area through personalised tuition. The role is contracted for a full academic year whilst giving you the freedom to control how many hours you wish to work per day ranging from 2-6 hours.

The Role

As a LAC Tutor, you will provide tailored educational support to young people in care, many of whom may have experienced interruptions in their schooling. Your role will focus on helping students rebuild confidence in learning and achieve their individual educational goals.

Key responsibilities include:

• Delivering individualised tuition sessions, primarily in English and Maths, either face-to-face or online
• Designing and adapting lesson plans to meet individual needs, including EHCP and PEP targets
• Encouraging engagement, confidence, and motivation through supportive teaching approaches
• Working closely with Virtual Schools, carers, social workers, and education settings to ensure joined-up support
• Monitoring and recording student progress and contributing to ongoing educational planning

The Ideal CandidateWe are keen to hear from individuals who:

• Have experience teaching, tutoring, or supporting vulnerable young people, particularly those in care or with SEMH needs
• Are understanding of the unique challenges faced by children in the care system
• Can adapt their teaching methods to suit different abilities and learning styles
• Are patient, reliable, and committed to helping young people succeed
• Hold a full UK driving licence and have access to a vehicle to travel across North Yorkshire
• A teaching qualification such as QTS or QTLS would be advantageous but is not essential. We welcome applicants with relevant experience and a strong commitment to supporting young people.

What Tradewind Offers

• Flexible working opportunities that can fit around your availability from 2-6 hours per day
• Support from a friendly and highly experienced team
• The chance to work with a variety of learners in rewarding settings
• A unique opportunity to positively impact the lives of children in care

If you're motivated to help young people overcome barriers to education and reach their full potential, we would love to hear from you.
