This is not a standard teaching role.
At Pathway Academy Zone, you will be working with young people who need more than just lessons - they need structure, belief, and someone who can genuinely engage them.
We are a new school in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, and because of that, this role is rare. You will not just be delivering a curriculum handed down to you - you will help shape how learning is delivered here. You will have a direct line to leadership, real influence over the school’s development, and the opportunity to build something that lasts.
We are looking for a Core Subject Tutor who can deliver English, Maths and Science, while also contributing to a broader curriculum that supports personal development and real-life readiness. You will work with small groups and on a 1:1 basis, helping learners who may have faced barriers in mainstream education to re-engage and progress.
What You Will Be Doing
* Delivering engaging sessions across English, Maths and Science (KS3/KS4)
* Supporting delivery of wider curriculum areas including PSHE, RSHE, Humanities, RE and PE
* Adapting teaching approaches to suit individual learning needs
* Working closely with learners with SEMH and additional needs
* Building strong relationships to improve behaviour and engagement
* Monitoring progress and maintaining clear, accurate records
* Supporting learners towards positive outcomes and progression
What We Are Looking For
* Experience working with young people, ideally within alternative provision or similar settings
* Confidence delivering core subjects at KS3/KS4 level
* Ability to engage learners who may be disengaged from education
* Strong behaviour management and communication skills
* A calm, resilient and adaptable approach
* Teaching qualification or relevant subject-based degree
Desirable:
* Experience with SEN or SEMH learners
* Background in alternative provision or PRU settings
* Team Teach or equivalent de-escalation training
