Futures Tutor

Job Description:

Up to £45,000

Those huge small victories

We are the highest Ofsted-rated provider in the country for special education and care. As we expand our offer through our innovative Inclusion Services online provision, we remain driven by the same belief that even the smallest positive changes in our young people matter. Our teams are fulfilled by those huge small victories, whether that’s a learner re-engaging with education online, building confidence in a subject they once avoided, or taking meaningful steps towards reintegration and positive outcomes.

For children and young people with complex needs, the level of care and education we provide must go above and beyond. That’s what drives us here at Witherslack Group. Through our high staff-to-child ratios, in-house clinical teams and now our flexible, high-quality digital provision for pupils who cannot access mainstream education, we’re proud to have built a reputation for excellence and market-leading Ofsted ratings.

Get out what you put in

As Lead Futures Tutor within our Inclusion Services online provision, you will play a central role in shaping and delivering an engaging, forward thinking Futures Curriculum that prepares young people for meaningful next steps. This is more than delivering lessons. You will design and adapt high quality employability content, facilitate timetabled Futures sessions and targeted coaching interventions, and contribute to the development and testing of our online platform to ensure it supports progression and engagement. In this role you will work closely with Maths and English Tutors, Talent Managers and Clinical colleagues. Together you will help create a coherent pathway from re engagement in learning through to transition, progression and alumni status, ensuring every pupil can see and work towards a positive future.

To succeed, you will bring experience in teaching, tutoring or coaching alongside a strong understanding of employability, progression routes and the barriers faced by young people who struggle in mainstream settings. You will be confident delivering engaging online sessions, adaptable in your approach, and committed to building trust, resilience and readiness for transition. Reflective and collaborative, you will share our belief in educating the whole child, balancing high expectations with empathy and support, and be motivated by the opportunity to shape a growing provision with scope to lead and develop others as the service expands.

Our young people come from all walks of life, diverse backgrounds and with different needs – and our workforce reflects that diversity, so that our teams can engage, encourage and inspire our young people to be themselves.

We’ll give you the chance to build an exciting career in a fast-growing organisation, where you’re free to achieve your potential. Here’s what we need from you;

• Experience in teaching, tutoring or coaching with a strong focus on employability skills and progression pathways.
