Job Description

Do you want to inspire and empower a student in a way a traditional classroom can't? Tradewind Recruitment is seeking a dedicated 1:1 Tutor to provide tailored tuition for children and young people with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) challenges. This is an incredible opportunity to make a significant impact on students' lives from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 4.

You will become part of a committed and innovative team, delivering personalised, one-to-one tuition sessions. These sessions may be held in person at the student's home or a public library, or delivered remotely online, offering a flexible and rewarding work-life balance.

Detailed Job Description

As a 1:1 Tutor, you will:

  • Plan and Deliver Bespoke Sessions: Create and deliver engaging, highly differentiated tuition sessions that cater to the unique needs, interests, and learning styles of each student.

  • Focus on Individual Progress: Adapt the curriculum to address specific gaps in a student's knowledge and skills, building their confidence and fostering a positive attitude towards learning.

  • Build a Nurturing Connection: Develop a strong, trusting, and supportive relationship with your student, creating a safe and encouraging environment for them to learn and grow.

  • Manage and Support: Use your understanding of SEMH to proactively support your student, employing effective de-escalation techniques and promoting a respectful and positive learning experience.

  • Monitor and Report Progress: Regularly assess student progress, providing clear and detailed updates to the student's family, school, and our team to ensure a collaborative approach to their development.

The Ideal Candidate Will Have:

  • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills (QTLS) is preferred, but experienced and highly skilled tutors will also be considered.

  • Experience working with young people with complex needs, particularly those with SEMH.

  • A flexible and proactive approach, with the ability to adapt and think on your feet.

  • A creative and resourceful outlook, capable of designing meaningful and stimulating lessons that re-engage disengaged learners.

  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to build strong rapport with both students and their families

Why Work as a Tutor?

Tutoring is an incredibly fulfilling role that offers a unique set of rewards:

  • Making a Real Difference: You'll provide essential educational support to students who have struggled in mainstream settings. Your focused attention can unlock their potential, helping them build academic skills and self-esteem.

  • True Personalisation: With a one-to-one setting, you have the freedom to truly tailor the learning experience. This is education at its most personalised, allowing you to directly see the impact of your efforts.

  • Flexibility and Autonomy: Enjoy the freedom of a flexible schedule and the autonomy to plan and deliver sessions in a way that best suits both you and your student.

  • Rewarding Connections: You will form deep and meaningful connections with your students, celebrating every breakthrough and milestone with them.
