£25-£30 per hour | Flexible hours | Northamptonshire
In-person via Tradewind Recruitment

Are you passionate about helping young people reach their potential? Tradewind Recruitment is seeking dedicated Academic Mentors to provide 1:1 support for children and young people across Northamptonshire.

As an Academic Mentor, you will deliver tailored learning sessions in a child's home, a local library, or a school, depending on each pupil's needs. Sessions range from 1 hour per week to 10 hours, offering full flexibility to fit around your schedule.

Many of the pupils referred for support have Special Educational Needs (SEN) and may have an EHCP, so experience working with individual learning plans or specialist strategies is highly valued.

Your role will involve:
✔ Delivering personalised curriculum support in core subjects
✔ Creating engaging, structured learning sessions
✔ Supporting children with SEN, including autism, speech & language needs, or SEMH
✔ Building confidence, motivation, and independence
✔ Working collaboratively with schools, parents, and Local Authorities

We're looking for:

  • Experienced educators, SEN support staff, or specialist tutors
  • Practitioners confident working independently 1:1
  • Individuals with good curriculum knowledge and strong behaviour support skills
  • People who genuinely want to make a meaningful difference

If you're ready to support pupils who need consistency, encouragement, and specialist guidance, we'd love to hear from you.
