We are looking for an experienced and resilient Maths and English Tutor to provide 1:1 educational support to a Year 11 learner currently living in a residential care setting in Cumbria.

The learner has been out of education for a period of time and requires a tutor who can help re-engage them with learning, build trust, and support progress towards GCSE-level outcomes in Maths and English.

This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact on a young person's educational journey while working within a multi-agency support framework.

• Has experienced significant disruption to education.
• Requires structured, patient, and consistent support to re-engage with learning.
• Is known to mental health services and requires a tutor who can work sensitively alongside existing professional support.
• May present with behaviours that can be challenging and will require clear boundaries, strong behaviour-management skills, and a trauma-informed approach.

We are seeking a tutor who has:

• Experience working with young people with SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) needs.
• Strong behaviour management and de-escalation skills.
• Experience delivering GCSE Maths and/or English.
• Confidence working on a 1:1 basis in alternative provision, care, or community settings.
• A calm, resilient, and professional manner.
• The ability to build positive relationships while maintaining appropriate boundaries.

• Relevant teaching, tutoring, or educational qualification.
• Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to obtain one).
• Experience supporting vulnerable learners.
• Strong safeguarding awareness.
• Right to work in the UK.

• Competitive hourly rates.
• Dedicated consultant support.
• Flexible working arrangements.
• The opportunity to have a significant positive impact on a young person's future.
• Ongoing opportunities for similar tuition assignments.

The successful candidate will be required to undergo all relevant safeguarding and compliance checks. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff to share this commitment.
