Some may display challenging behaviours, have low confidence, struggle with emotional regulation or have become completely disengaged from education.

Sessions will take place face-to-face in accessible community settings, such as youth centres, family hubs and community centres, as well as other suitable locations.

• Develop and deliver personalised lesson plans that address individual learning gaps, abilities and educational needs.
• Adapt teaching approaches to accommodate students with SEND, ADHD, autism, SEMH needs, anxiety and other barriers to learning.
• Build positive, trusting relationships with students who may have had negative experiences of education.
• Use creative, flexible and engaging teaching strategies to encourage participation and improve motivation.

Role Details

• Pay rate: Up to £30 per hour, depending on qualifications and experience.
• Hours: Up to 6 hours per week per student.
• Start date: November 2026.
• Location: Blyth, Northumberland.
• Duration: Ongoing, with the aim of supporting students towards successful reintegration into mainstream education or an appropriate educational setting.

To Be Eligible for the QTS Tutor Role, You Will Need:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills (QTLS).
• Previous experience supporting young people with SEND and/or SEMH needs.
