Functional Skills Tutor

Hi,

We are looking for a supportive and nurturing tutor to work with a Year 11 student studying Functional Skills Maths and English.

Whilst 10 hours per week are funded, the provision will initially be delivered across 2 days per week, with a focus on building trust, engagement, and a positive working relationship before introducing a more structured academic approach.

About the Student

The student currently attends an Alternative Provision and has an EHCP, which will be shared with the successful tutor.

Key needs include:

• Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC)
• PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) profile
• Severe anxiety
• Selective mutism (context-dependent)
• Communication & Interaction needs
• Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs

We are seeking a tutor who can provide a low-pressure, low-arousal learning environment and adapt their approach to meet the student's individual needs.

What We're Looking For

• Minimum 6 months' experience in education, tutoring, childcare, or a similar setting
• Confidence planning and delivering Functional Skills Maths and English lessons at Year 11 level
• A patient, nurturing, relationship-led approach
• Experience supporting ASC and/or PDA (preferred)

No PDA experience? We can provide free training before sessions begin.

Additional Information

• Flexible timetable, depending on tutor availability and family preferences
• Opportunity for additional referrals if you're looking to build your timetable
• A chance to make a genuine difference to a young person's confidence, engagement, and educational journey

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, please apply and we will get in contact.

Thankyou.
