In-Person Secondary Tutor (QTS Required)
Flexible hours | Highly rewarding | Term-time only | SEN, SEMH & Mental Health Support
Are you a qualified secondary teacher who wants to make a genuine difference beyond the classroom?
We are seeking QTS-qualified, secondary-experienced tutors to work 1:1 with young people who are unable to attend mainstream school due to SEN, SEMH, behavioural challenges, or mental health needs. Many of these students are school-refusing or medically unable to attend, and need a calm, consistent educator to help them re-engage with learning.
This is a deeply rewarding role focused on connection first, progress second.
The Role
You will deliver 1:1, in-person tuition to secondary-aged students (KS3-KS4), typically in the student's home or a local community setting.
Sessions focus on:
Core secondary subjects (English, Maths, Science), aligned to age-appropriate expectations
Adapting learning for students working below or outside their chronological age
Building trust, confidence, and routine alongside academic support
Supporting reintegration into education where appropriate
You will also:
Work closely with schools, parents/carers, and external professionals
Provide clear session feedback and outcome notes
Tailor your approach to each learner's emotional and educational needs
Hours & Flexibility
Tuition usually takes place during school hours (9:00-15:00, Monday-Friday)
Most students receive 6-15 hours per week
Part-time and term-time only
Opportunity to take on additional students if desired
Who We're Looking For
Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) - essential
Proven secondary teaching or tutoring experience
Experience supporting students with SEN, SEMH, anxiety, trauma, or behavioural needs
Confident working 1:1 and independently, outside of a classroom environment
Calm, resilient, and adaptable approach
Strong communication and relationship-building skills
Enhanced DBS (on the Update Service or willingness to apply)
Full UK driving licence and access to transport is often required
Why This Role Matters
Many of the students you'll support have been out of education for extended periods. For some, you may be the only consistent teacher they see. Your presence can be the difference between long-term disengagement and a path back into learning.
This role is about impact, patience, and believing - not just curriculum delivery.
If you're a secondary teacher with QTS looking for flexible, meaningful work where your skills truly matter, we'd like to hear from you
