Are you currently working in education and looking for a new challenge? Are you missing the chance to teach smaller group sizes so that your delivery can have a greater impact? Are you passionate about making a difference to the lives of young people? Our client is looking for a supportive and nurturing Maths Tutor to join their Rotherham team. This is a fantastic opportunity to join an award-winning, nationally recognised organisation that strives to make education accessible for learners who have struggled to cope in mainstream.

- Minimal teaching hrs compared to mainstream education settings

Who will I be teaching?- Our client’s organisation was born from the need to offer a safe, inclusive and supportive learning environment for young people who have struggled to cope in mainstream education.
- Most of their learners will have some form of external barriers to education also. They offer holistic wrap around support teamed with a youth work approach so that they can support learners to thrive inside and outside of the classroom.
- All learners have an Educational, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) and, as a result, all have some level of additional need. Some of the most common areas of need that they see are Social, Emotional, Mental Health (SEMH), Autism (ASC), and ADHD, although they work with learners with a much broader range of needs.
- To allow learners to thrive, they work in small group sizes of approx. 6-10 with support staff.
- Ahead of any learner coming to them, they consult with the local authority to ensure that they are the most suitable provider to meet their needs.
Typical Day in the life of a tutor: - Begin your day by collecting a student/s on your way in to work
- Arrive onsite for 10am and do student check ins and allow time for settling in/breakfast

- Teach for 2-4hrs during the day
- When you aren’t teaching, give support to learners in other lessons
- Drop learners home around 3:30
- Come back to site for team meeting, marking, planning, updating learner targets and EHCP targets
- Once every 2 weeks a full day is given to staff for their admin duties/planning/marking
- Once every 2 weeks there will be a day dedicated to learner activities to increase engagement and participation, this may be things like graffiti workshops, trampolining, bowling, climbing, nature walks, museum visits etc.
Essential Competencies - Have at least a Level 3 qualification in teaching, as well as a Level 3 in an area related to the subject that you will be delivering (or be willing to take part in CPD to achieve this).
- Must have a supportive and nurturing approach and a real ability to engage disengaged learners or those that may struggle to see the value in their education.
- Must own your own car, have business insurance in place and ensure that tax and MOT are maintained. You must be willing to carry out student pick-ups and drop offs (mileage paid at 45p per mile).
