This is an exciting time for Switch Up and, as a growing organisation, we are looking for upbeat, passionate and committed Education Tutors who share our values.

You will work with young people of school age and post-16 on a one-to-one or small group basis

The young people we work with have often struggled in mainstream education for a variety of reasons. Some may have been excluded, others may have SEMH or SEN needs, and many require a flexible, personalised approach to learning to help them re‑engage and achieve a basic education.

You will have strong, proven tutoring skills, with experience teaching in schools or other educational settings. You will bring the drive, enthusiasm and resilience needed to work with some of the hardest-to-reach young people, and the creativity to make learning engaging and accessible. Our targeted youth mentoring team works alongside the Alternative Provision, and there will be opportunities for you to support mentoring activity where appropriate.

This role is pro rata, term time only (actual salary £21,517 – £23,172.41) inclusive of annual leave and bank holiday pay). This may be negotiable for candidates with strong transferable skills and experience.
