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 "talk and chalk" teaching? This organisation is looking for passionate Literacy Tutors and Functional Skills Tutors 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'll be working with small groups (5 learners + 1 LSA) and will have the freedom to think outside the box when it comes to teaching. For example, rather than teaching percentages with handouts, you might take your learners to the shops during a sale to see discounts in action.
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.
