Job description

Are you an passionate, engaging educator searching for opportunities to significantly impact the learning of young people through 1:1 or small group tuition? We have learners who need you to make a real difference in their lives now who are situated throughout Birmingham, who require tailored, in-person support in their own homes or schools to enable their academic success - we'd love to work with you if you share our passion in creating meaningful outcomes for learners of all ages and ability levels.

Fleet Education Services is one of the largest nationwide providers of alternative and supplementary education to schools and local authorities, supporting children from all backgrounds through one-to-one and small group tuition programmes. We provide impactful, quality assured tuition, delivered by the best educators who ensure that every learner we support thrives.

You'll provide in-person tuition to students who have either disengaged with education or who are struggling to meet age-related academic expectations - opportunities to tutor are tailored with your availability and subject specialisms in mind and can vary between 1-15 hours per week depending on the student's learning requirements. Your skill and expertise will play a leading role in improving the self-confidence and subject knowledge of your learner, ultimately re-engaging them with education and providing a positive learning outcome.

• Special educational needs (SEN) such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and Dyslexia or Dyspraxia
• Social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs
• Childhood trauma

Key responsibilities

• Use of our virtual learning platform to report on attendance, attainment and engagement for all tutoring sessions.
• Liaise with the school, local authority, Fleet Education Services or other key stakeholders to inform and support the student.
• Complete training as required and commit to safeguarding principles.

What we offer

• Competitive weekly pay through PAYE.
• Control over your workload; flexible roles that fit around your existing commitments.
• Support and guidance from our Quality Assurance team who also provide ongoing training opportunities that count towards your CPD.
• A dedicated Tuition Consultant who will work closely with you to ensure you have as much work as you are able to fulfil, and who will find the right roles for you.

Requirements

• Bachelors level degree or equivalent.
• Minimum 6 months teaching/tutoring experience.
• Must live and be eligible to work in the UK.
• Must be willing to undertake a full Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check and referencing process, as well as subscribing to the DBS Update Service.
