Are you a creative and adaptable Tutor looking to make a real difference within SEN? Do you believe in hands-on, engaging learning rather than traditional teaching? If so, this role could be perfect for you!
This organisation is looking for a passionate Functional Skills Tutor to deliver an innovative Study Programme for young people aged 16-25 with an EHCP. These learners have SEMH, Autism, ADHD, and many are care leavers who have opted out of formal education.
You will be working with small groups (5 learners + 1 LSA) and will have the freedom to think outside the box when it comes to teaching. Forget worksheets and standard classroom setups; this role is about experiential learning. For example, rather than teaching percentages with handouts, you might take your learners to the shops during a sale to see discounts in action. The focus is on engagement, relevance, and impact, making learning meaningful for each individual.
PLEASE NOTE: This role will be working across various locations in Northamptonshire which could include places of work, community centres or a learner’s home. This is a driver essential role.
