We’re looking for dedicated Key Stage 4 educators in St Helens to deliver tailored 1:1 tuition to students who are currently disengaged from mainstream education. These learners may require academic catch-up, GCSE exam preparation, or support with transitioning to college, apprenticeships, or employment.

• Using a relational, trauma-informed approach to support both emotional and academic progress

• Understand the needs of learners with SEND, SEMH or EBSA
