Are you the kind of educator who sees the child behind the behaviour?
Who understands that progress isn't always measured in neat ticks and tidy grades but sometimes in trust, resilience, and small daily wins?

We're looking for dedicated tutors in the Thurrock area who want more than just a timetable they want impact.

The Role

Most of our referrals are for secondary-aged pupils with SEMH and complex needs. These are young people who may have found mainstream education challenging and need consistent, skilled, and patient support to help them re-engage.

This isn't a “turn up, deliver a worksheet, and leave” type of role.

It's about:

Building strong, professional relationships
Creating structured, safe learning environments
Supporting both academic progress and emotional regulation
Being a steady, reliable presence
Availability

Minimum 10-15 hours per week
Core hours typically between 8:30am-3:30pm
Monday to Friday availability required
Consistency is key for our pupils and for the wider professional team.

What Matters (Beyond Teaching)

Our tutors don't just teach they communicate.

You'll be responsible for:

Accurate attendance reporting
Monitoring and recording progress
Providing updates that can be shared with schools and other professionals
Maintaining clear, professional documentation
Your observations may directly inform EHCP reviews, school planning, and multi-agency decisions so attention to detail is essential.

Who We're Looking For

You might come from:

A tuition background
A mainstream or specialist school
Alternative provision
Youth work or pastoral roles
What matters most:

Strong behaviour management rooted in empathy
Experience supporting SEMH or complex needs
Professional communication skills
Reliability and resilience
The ability to work independently
If you understand that progress can look like:

A student staying engaged for a full session
Completing work without escalation
Beginning to trust an adult again
…then you'll fit right in.

Why Join Us?

Meaningful, purposeful work
Consistent daytime hours
The opportunity to genuinely change educational journeys
Supportive communication with a wider professional network
This is tutoring with depth, responsibility, and real impact.

If you're ready to be the difference in a young person's week and can commit to consistent hours in Thurrock we'd love to hear from you.
