Targeted, High-Impact 1:1 Education
Are you an experienced and compassionate educator, mentor, or instructor looking to make a profound difference through specialist one-to-one (1:1) support?
We are seeking a dedicated 1:1 Education Instructor to join a local secondary school in Blackpool. This critical role focuses on providing intensive, bespoke academic and pastoral intervention for students aged 11-16 who require individual attention to overcome barriers to learning (e.g., due to SEND, SEMH, medical needs, or disengagement).

Vulnerable Learners: Work intensively with small caseloads of KS3 and KS4 students (11-16) who are currently disengaged, medically fragile, or have complex SEMH/SEND needs.
Relationship Building: Act as a key mentor, focusing on improving attendance, punctuality, self-esteem, and re-engagement with learning.
Collaboration: Work closely with the school's SENCO, Pastoral Team, and external agencies to track progress and contribute to EHC plans or bespoke education packages.
Professional Development: Gain highly specialised experience in providing alternative and therapeutic education within a mainstream setting.
