Employment Type: Contract
Location: Kettering, Northamptonshire

Description
Be more than an educator. Be the reason a young person believes in a brighter future.
Many of our young people with SEMH needs or SEN have faced challenges that have left them feeling discouraged or disconnected from education. Every child deserves someone who won't give up on them - could that be you? At Fresh Start in Education, we’re looking for proactive, person‑centred people to design and deliver personalised learning sessions that spark curiosity, confidence and a sense of hope for young people currently out of education in the Northamptonshire area. Whether it’s going on a trip to the shops to explore Maths, unlocking their imagination through stories and art, or using gaming to uncover the wonders of Science, you’ll inspire students to rediscover the joy of learning in a way that works for them. One learner, one relationship, one small step at a time.
With allowances for travel and resources and full support from our dedicated team, this flexible role gives you the freedom to deliver learning in the ways that you feel best meet the student’s needs and interests.
What you’ll be doing
* Providing 1:1 or 2:1 support to children and young people in their homes or a suitable, public setting.
* Delivering personalised, creative sessions that reflect each learner’s needs, interests and abilities.
* Sessions run during the school day (term time only) and typically last 3 to 5 hours.
* Working flexibly (on a bank staff contract) as part of a compassionate, expert‑led team that values you, your skills and creative input.
Who we’re looking for
* Education professionals with experience supporting children and young people with SEN and SEMH needs, including ASD, ADHD and challenging behaviours.
* Experience delivering or supporting English and Maths at Secondary levels, along with other subjects if possible.
* A minimum of 2 consistent weekdays of availability.
* Up‑to‑date understanding of safeguarding and child protection.
What you can expect from Fresh Start in Education
* £25–£35 per hour, depending on experience.
* Travel subsidy & £15 per day resource allowance.
* Free access to counselling and wellbeing services, pension options, and store discounts.
* Ongoing CPD and training opportunities.
* Dedicated line manager support and inclusion in a supportive, expert team.
* Bank staff role (PAYE), offering both short‑term and long‑term placements.
