Are you ready to turn your passion for teaching into a powerful force for change?
At Prospect Training Services (PTS), we believe in the power of people — and we’re looking for an energetic, inspiring, and dedicated Tutor to join our mission to shape brighter futures for young learners who need it most. If you’re a dynamic, inspiring and joyful individual who has excellent experience working with post 16 young people, we want to hear from you!
This is more than a teaching job — it’s a chance to become a lifeline, mentor, motivator, and role model for students who face real challenges. We are ready to support and encourage the next generation with impact and purpose.

This is a permanent role, Monday to Friday with working hours of 37.5 hours a week.
As a tutor you are at the heart of our delivery, therefore you must possess the ability to motivate students to develop their skills and to reach their full potential. You must have the passion and empathy for working with young people aged 16 – 19 years of age with different abilities, including young people with additional needs. You will use innovative methods to deliver creative, fun and engaging sessions for English and maths as well as our Enrichment curriculum focusing on Skills for Work and Life.
This role includes full teaching responsibilities, including developing your own curriculum against standards, planning and preparing sessions and marking work. You will be part of regular team meetings, and we will provide you with professional development opportunities.
