English Tutor

Job Description

Up to £45,000

This is a remote based role providing online learning.

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early should we receive a sufficient number of suitable applications. Early application is therefore encouraged.

Those huge small victories

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 same 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.

This is a fully remote teaching role, designed to give you the flexibility to work from home while making a meaningful impact. Unlike some online provisions, you will not be required to deliver from a central office, allowing you to focus on what matters most, engaging and supporting young people.

Get out what you put in

As Lead English Tutor within our Inclusion Services online provision, you will shape and deliver an engaging, accessible English curriculum for young people who need education done differently.

This is not a traditional teaching role. You will work with pupils who are often disengaged from education and do not respond to passive approaches. They need learning that feels relevant, interactive and alive, and a teacher confident enough to hold attention, manage challenge and bring them with you.

You will design and deliver high-impact online lessons that build connection, rebuild confidence and make English meaningful. You will adapt in real time, think on your feet, and use your subject expertise to unlock both literacy and self-belief.

Alongside teaching, you will contribute to curriculum design and the development of our online platform. Working with education and clinical colleagues, you will help create a calm, safe and aspirational learning environment and play a key role in shaping a genuinely inclusive model of online education.

We are looking for someone who:

• Is resilient, adaptable and not easily phased
• Can manage challenge calmly while building trust
• Holds clear boundaries alongside warmth and consistency
• Brings energy and creativity to online learning
• Engages pupils who may be disengaged or resistant
• Is reflective, innovative and committed to safeguarding
• Believes in supporting the whole child, not just academic outcomes

Bring your whole-self to work

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.

We’ll give you the chance to build an exciting career in a fast-growing organisation, where you’re free to achieve your potential. Here’s what we need from you;

• Qualified Teacher Status (or equivalent) with strong Maths expertise at KS3 and KS4 (KS5 desirable).

• Experience delivering engaging, high-quality teaching, ideally within online or digital settings.

• Confident working with common end-user applications

• Proven ability to design and adapt curriculum content into interactive, accessible learning resources.

• Strong understanding of pupils with SEND, SEMH or those disengaged from mainstream education.

• Confidence in assessing progress and using data to inform teaching and support outcomes.

• Ability to build trusting relationships while maintaining high expectations and positive behaviour standards.

• A collaborative, reflective approach and unwavering commitment to safeguarding and educating the whole child.
