Teacher Active works in partnership with Medway Local Authorityt, Kent CC and the VSK (Virtual School, Kent) to support young people who are currently out of education for a wide variety of reasons or needs.

We are recruiting for a tutor to support a range of young people from primary age through to secondary and P16, often working below their expected levels.
