Who we are

Our mission is "to change the trajectory of students' lives." We're a multi-award-winning, family-run branch of an international organisation. That means you benefit from being part of a global, collaborative network while we maintain a constant, local presence and a personal, direct relationship with our tutors, students and clients. Through our numerous accreditations, we've worked with over 50 schools and 5 local authorities.

Who we're looking for

• QTS/QTLS, a relevant degree, or experienced HLTA

• Minimum 2 years' experience teaching or tutoring learners with SEND, EHCPs, or SEMH needs

• Experience working with students who may have anxiety, EBSA, or behavioural difficulties, at primary or secondary level (KS1–KS5)

• A genuine ability to build trust and adapt your approach to each student

• Enhanced DBS (or willingness to obtain one, which we can facilitate), plus solid working knowledge of safeguarding

What you'll be doing You'll deliver 1:1 or small-group daytime sessions, mainly in Maths, English and Science, though other subjects may come up too. You’ll primarily be in person, in schools, local centres, hired rooms, sometimes a student's home, but occasionally some students require online tuition. Students are referred by schools and local authorities, often with an EHCP or identified learning/behavioural needs. You'll plan and adapt sessions to meet both academic and therapeutic goals, set targets collaboratively with the student, and report on progress regularly — all while complying with safeguarding procedures and best practice.

Why tutors stay with us

• Total flexibility: you pick your own hours and students

• We brief you properly first : we liaise with the school and local authority before placement, so you go in with full context on the student

• We handle the admin : we take care of renewals, school liaison, and referrals, so you can focus on teaching

• Real support, not just a placement : ongoing management contact, CPD via Tes Develop, safeguarding training, and a genuine team behind you

• Multiple settings : schools, colleges, youth centres, and occasionally online

How to apply We follow a Safer Recruitment Process developed with the NSPCC. You'll need the right to work in the UK on a self-employed basis and a recent Enhanced DBS (or Update Service subscription). Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, apply now to be considered for a September start.
