Tradewind Recruitment are seeking compassionate, adaptable and experienced Alternative Provision Tutors to support Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 pupils across Rotherham who require personalised education within the community.

This rewarding role involves working on a 1:1 basis with pupils who are unable to access mainstream education for a variety of reasons. Many of the young people you will support have Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, making a patient, nurturing and relationship-focused approach essential.

As an Alternative Provision Tutor, you will deliver tailored educational sessions that help pupils re-engage with learning, build confidence and work towards their academic goals.

Sessions may take place in pupils' homes, community settings or other agreed learning environments across Rotherham, in line with Local Authority guidance.

Every learner is different, so you'll have the opportunity to adapt your teaching style to meet individual needs while building positive, trusting relationships that encourage progress.

• Deliver engaging 1:1 tuition to KS3 and KS4 pupils.
• Plan and adapt lessons to meet each learner's individual needs and targets.
• Support pupils with SEMH needs using a calm, nurturing and consistent approach.
• Build positive relationships that encourage engagement and confidence.
• Monitor progress and provide feedback in line with Local Authority requirements.
• Work collaboratively with families, schools, Local Authorities and Tradewind Recruitment.
• Maintain accurate records of attendance, learning and progress.

• A qualified teacher, experienced tutor or education professional with strong subject knowledge.
• Patient, empathetic and resilient.
• Confident working independently.
• Skilled at building positive relationships with young people.

• Flexible working hours to suit your availability.
• Rewarding work supporting young people to re-engage with education.
• Opportunities to work with a variety of pupils and learning needs.

The rate offered will depend on several factors, including:

• The individual needs and complexity of the pupil being supported.
• The requirements set out by the Local Authority.
• Your relevant experience and qualifications.
• Your availability and flexibility to meet tuition requirements.

Tutors with greater availability, relevant experience and who are able to meet more complex learner needs may be offered opportunities at the higher end of the pay scale.

• Competitive hourly pay of £25-£35 per hour.
• Access to free CPD and professional development through The National College.
• Dedicated support from an experienced Tradewind Recruitment consultant.
