Delivery jobs in United Kingdom

Are you looking for a fresh Challenge? We are recruiting for an outstanding Tutor to join our well established Education Team at Calman Colaiste (16-25 Specialist College).

We require a tutor who will create outstanding teaching and learning opportunities for autistic young people and adults who are autistic and have additional complex learning needs.

We offer exceptional and diverse teaching opportunities to support our learners and make their time at college meaningful, creating an inclusive learning environment where everyone feels valued and respects each other. Our learners have complex challenges, including non-verbal communication, sensory regulatory needs, and complex learning profiles. Our curriculum focusses on experiential learning opportunities, supporting functional learning in environmental, vocational, creative, personal development and life skills learning.

No two days are the same so we want tutors who can work at pace, to turn ‘can’t do’ into ‘want to’ You will need to be resilient as our challenges can be complex. Engaging learners in activity and learning outcomes that are meaningful to them, and linked to their EHCP outlines requires perseverance and creative approaches. You will be joining a collaborative team of tutors and learning support assistants, alongside an integrated team of Speech and Language, Occupational Therapy and animal husbandry teams. Outdoor learning and offsite work related learning activity is also a key part of what we do, so be prepared for an active curriculum delivery.

We want to hear from people with drive and a willingness to go the ‘extra mile’ to improve the lives of the young people.
