Essential:

• Strong knowledge of Maths and English Functional Skills, with the ability to independently plan and deliver lessons.

• Experience supporting young people with SEMH needs, challenging behaviour or additional learning needs.

• A patient, empathetic and flexible approach to teaching.

• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.

• Confidence delivering face-to-face tuition in 1:1 settings.

• An understanding of safeguarding and the importance of maintaining professional boundaries.

Desirable:

• Experience supporting pupils outside mainstream education, including alternative provision or outreach settings.

• Ability to incorporate practical life skills, independent living skills and employability into learning.

• Experience working with disengaged or vulnerable young people.

• Relevant teaching, tutoring or education qualifications.
