English Tutor in Wellingborough

This is a remote-based role providing online learning. We are the highest Ofsted-rated provider in the country for special education and care. As we expand our offer through our innovative Inclusion Services online provision, we remain driven by the belief that even the smallest positive changes in our young people matter. Our teams are fulfilled by those huge small victories, whether that’s a learner re-engaging with education online, building confidence in a subject they once avoided, or taking meaningful steps towards reintegration and positive outcomes.

For children and young people with complex needs, the level of care and education we provide must go above and beyond. That’s what drives us here at Witherslack Group. Through our high staff-to-child ratios, in-house clinical teams, and now our flexible, high-quality digital provision for pupils who cannot access mainstream education, we’re proud to have built a reputation for excellence and market-leading Ofsted ratings.

As Lead English Tutor within our Inclusion Services online provision, you’ll play a central role in shaping and delivering an engaging, accessible, and outcomes-focused English curriculum for young people who need education delivered differently. This is more than an online teaching position. You’ll help design and map high-quality curriculum content, develop interactive digital lessons, contribute to the testing and refinement of our online learning platform, and work collaboratively with clinical and education colleagues to create a calm, safe, and aspirational learning environment. Through your teaching, you’ll build confidence, literacy skills, and a genuine love of reading, writing, and communication, helping to establish a pioneering model of inclusive online education.

To succeed, you’ll bring strong subject expertise and experience teaching English at Key Stage 3 and 4, alongside confidence in delivering engaging learning in an online or digital setting. You’ll understand the barriers faced by pupils who struggle in mainstream education, including those with SEND or SEMH needs, and approach teaching with empathy, high expectations, and adaptability. Reflective, innovative, and committed to safeguarding, you’ll share our belief in educating the whole child, supporting not only academic progress but personal growth and positive future pathways.

Here at Witherslack Group, we celebrate everyone’s differences as that’s what makes us the best at what we do. Our young people come from all walks of life, diverse backgrounds, and with different needs, and our workforce reflects that diversity, so that our teams can engage, encourage, and inspire our young people to be themselves.
