Do you want to make a difference in young people’s lives?

We are looking for an Educational Tutor to join our happy and vibrant team.  At West Midlands Education and Skills, we are passionate about giving the best opportunities to students with Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs.  We believe that every child can succeed, and it is our vision to set our young people on a positive path. 

You will be part of a strong team of tutors who dedicate themselves to ensuring that learning for each student is flexible with an individualised approach. 

​

We are looking for someone who:

• has at least a degree qualification in any subject

• has an interest in education and transferable skills in communication

• has a resilient attitude and is sensitive to students who have SEND, such as ASD, ADHD, speech and language needs and dyslexia

• has the ability to use initiative and ‘think on your feet’

• is professional and aspires to develop their CPD

• can deliver vibrant and engaging lessons using a calm approach

You will be expected to work on a 1:1 or very small group basis with your students.  You will be given schemes of work to inspire your lessons, however, you will also work to further develop the resources and opportunities.  You will meet with the team at least weekly, if not daily.  If you are not teaching on the school site, you must be willing to travel to your student’s designated learning venue.  This may be in the community or in their home.  We need you to build self-belief and confidence in our students whilst creatively ensuring progress in their learning.
