Employment Type: Contract
Location: Woking, Surrey
Compensation: £25.00 - £35.00 / hour
Description
Support a Young Person to Build Confidence, Life Skills and a Future in Sport
For young people with conditions such as cerebral palsy and additional SEN or SEMH needs, the traditional classroom isn’t always the right fit. That’s why Fresh Start in Education offers personalised, in-home support placements designed to meet students where they are both physically and emotionally.
We’re currently looking for Education Specialists to work 1:1 with young people in their home environment. These placements are not focused on academic education. Instead, the sessions will centre around mentoring, coaching, and life skills development, helping young people grow in confidence and independence.
With empathy, creativity, and consistency, you’ll make a lasting impact, empowering them to pursue a future they are passionate about.
The placements
* Working with your student on a 1:1 or 2:1 basis in their home or a suitable venue in or around the Camberley area
* Planning and delivering 2-5 sessions per week. Each session is between 3-5 hours, during school hours and term-times only.
* Placements organised and supported by our dedicated teams
* Bank Staff worker – providing short-term provisions as and when they arise, paid via PAYE
What you need to apply
* Minimum of 2 years’ professional experience working with vulnerable children or young people with additional needs (SEN, SEMH needs and other barriers to learning)
* Experience delivering or supporting English and Maths at Primary or Secondary levels, along with other subjects if possible
* Consistent availability to commit to a minimum of 2 sessions per week (a minimum of 2 working days)
* A commitment to keeping children and young people safe and a practical and up to date knowledge of safeguarding
The benefits
* Competitive hourly rate of £25 to £35 per hour
* Subsidised travel costs and £15 per day for resources
* Free wellbeing and counselling service, pension option & store discounts
* Work for a nationally recognised provider of specialist academic, social and emotional support for vulnerable young children and adults
