Outreach Tutor - Wickford and Surrounding

£20-£30 per hour depending on pay type and experience

Part-Time or Full-Time | 2-6 Hours Per Day Available, 3-5 days per week

PAYE, Umbrella or Self-Employed Options

Outreach tutoring - without being left to figure everything out yourself.

Working one-to-one with a young person can be incredibly rewarding.

But it also comes with responsibility.

What do you teach? Where are the resources? Who do you speak to if you're concerned about something? What happens if the student doesn't attend?

This outreach service has thought about those things.

We're recruiting Tutors across Wickford and South East Essex to deliver individualised education to young people who require an alternative to conventional classroom-based learning.

And importantly, this is an alternative education service - not a recruitment agency.

One Student. Two Hours a day minimum. Or Build a Full Week.

The working pattern is unusually flexible.

You could support one student for two hours per day, Monday, Wednesday and Friday, or build your availability up to six hours per day, five days per week.

That makes the opportunity suitable for tutors looking for anything from a smaller regular commitment to a substantial weekly timetable.

You'll work predominantly one-to-one, adapting learning around the student's ability, circumstances and individual objectives.

What You'll Actually Be Responsible For:

You'll plan and deliver appropriate learning for the young person you're supporting mainly around Maths and English.

Pre-planned lessons and resources are available through the service's curriculum hub, but you'll use your professional judgement to adapt them for the individual student.

You'll:

- Deliver structured 1:1 tuition

- Adapt learning around individual starting points and needs

- Use provided lesson plans, resources and curriculum objectives

- Create additional activities where appropriate

- Build engagement with pupils who may have experienced barriers to education

- Monitor academic progress

- Maintain accurate records

- Provide regular feedback

- Communicate appropriately with families and other professionals

- Attend relevant meetings and training

You're Working Independently - But You're Not On Your Own

That's an important distinction.

Outreach naturally involves spending significant time working directly with a young person away from a conventional classroom team.

But professional support remains available.

You'll receive:

- A full induction

- Initial risk-assessment support from a Lead Tutor

- Ongoing access to experienced Tutors

- Support from Inclusion Managers

- Access to Designated Safeguarding Leads

- A curriculum hub containing resources, objectives and lesson plans

- Full access to CPD courses

You'll also continue to be paid when your student is off sick, providing greater consistency than many sessional tutoring arrangements.

LT Support is acting as an extension of the service to help streamline recruitment, with the opportunity for suitable candidates to pre-qualify for the role immediately.

Who Are We Looking For?

Your background might be in teaching, tutoring, intervention work or alternative provision.

Previous outreach or one-to-one experience would be particularly useful, but what matters is that you're confident taking responsibility for an individual student's learning.

You'll need:

- Relevant teaching, tutoring or intervention experience

- Strong communication skills

- Confidence building rapport one-to-one

- The ability to adapt teaching to different starting points

- Good organisation and record keeping

- Creativity when conventional approaches aren't working

- Professional judgement and appropriate boundaries

- A strong understanding of safeguarding responsibilities
