Are you an enthusiastic English educator who enjoys helping young people overcome barriers to learning? Would you like to work in an environment where you can make a genuine difference to pupils who may have struggled with mainstream education? Tradewind Recruitment is partnering with an exciting new Alternative Provision setting opening in Towcester in the New Year. As part of its growing team, the provision is seeking a dedicated Functional Skills English Tutor to deliver engaging lessons and support young people in developing the literacy skills they need for their future.
The setting will work with pupils who may have experienced challenges within mainstream education, including social, emotional and mental health needs (SEMH), behavioural difficulties, disengagement and disrupted educational experiences. This is an opportunity to become part of a new team and help create an environment where young people feel supported, encouraged and able to achieve.
What will the role involve?
- Delivering accessible and engaging English sessions, helping pupils develop their reading, writing, speaking and listening skills.
- Planning and delivering Functional Skills English lessons.
- Supporting pupils to work towards relevant English qualifications.
- Adapting lessons to suit different learning abilities and individual needs.
- Developing literacy, communication and comprehension skills.
- Identifying gaps in learning and providing additional support where needed.
- Encouraging pupils who may have lost confidence in their academic abilities.
- Monitoring progress and celebrating individual achievements.
- Establishing positive relationships and maintaining clear, consistent classroom expectations.
- Working alongside colleagues to support the wider educational and pastoral needs of pupils.
Who would suit this opportunity?
We are interested in hearing from English Teachers, Functional Skills Tutors, Further Education lecturers and educators with experience delivering literacy-based programmes. Experience within Alternative Provision, SEMH, SEND or behaviour-focused settings would be advantageous. However, we are equally interested in candidates who have strong teaching skills and the patience, resilience and adaptability required to work with young people who may not always find traditional learning environments accessible.
What's on offer?
- Salary of £28,000 per annum.
- An exciting opportunity within a brand-new provision.
- The chance to contribute to the development of an educational setting from the outset.
- A rewarding role supporting young people to rebuild confidence and achieve qualifications.
- Temporary-to-permanent employment through Tradewind Recruitment.
