Make a Meaningful Impact – One Student at a Time
We are seeking compassionate, dedicated Outreach Tutors and Teachers to deliver one-to-one and small group sessions across Essex. This highly rewarding role supports students who are currently unable to access mainstream education due to a variety of needs including anxiety, behavioural challenges, SEND, SEMH, or those at risk of exclusion.
Working in pupils’ homes, local libraries, or schools, you’ll have the opportunity to help students build confidence, re-engage with learning, and achieve meaningful educational outcomes in core subjects such as English, Maths, PSHE, as well as through interventions and mentoring.
Responsibilities:
* Delivering tailored, one-to-one sessions for students ranging from EYFS to Year 11 (up to GCSE/Functional Skills level).
* Building positive, trusting relationships with students and families.
* Adapting teaching strategies to meet individual learning needs and styles.
* Supporting not only academic growth but also emotional resilience and confidence.
* Keeping accurate session records and progress notes.
* Incorporating a variety of learning tools and resources to enhance engagement.
Requirements:
* Qualified or experienced Tutors/Teachers with a strong grasp of Maths and Literacy.
* Proven experience working with young people, particularly those with SEND, SEMH, or non-traditional learning needs.
* Strong interpersonal and communication skills.
* Empathy, resilience, and a genuine commitment to student success.
* Flexibility and initiative in adapting to different environments and student needs.
* Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to apply-support provided).
* The right to work in the UK.
Benefits:
* Flexible hours that work around your availability – part-time or full-time during school hours (typically between 9:30am and 3:30pm). You will need to be avalable Monday to Friday.
* Immediate starts available with ongoing referrals across Essex.
* Weekly pay with various contract options (self-employed, umbrella, or limited).
* Access to over 100 free CPD courses, including Safeguarding, Prevent and Use of Reasonable Force.
* Consistent work – as one student transitions back into mainstream education, a new placement is offered where possible.
* Supporting not just the academics (literacy and numeracy) but also the wellbeing and confidence of the young people.
* Access to preplanned lessons.
