1:1 Tutors Needed Across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire

We’re not looking for worksheet warriors.

We’re looking for 1:1 Tutors who actually like children.

We have opportunities across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, including Beeston, Bulwell, Mansfield, East Leake, Arnold, Worksop, Hucknall, West Bridgford, Carlton, Kirkby-in-Ashfield and surrounding areas.

Some of these children have been out of education for months. Not because they can’t learn, but because the system hasn’t worked for them.

They’ve been waiting for the right support, the right relationship and the right adult who doesn’t disappear after a term.

That’s where you come in.

We have immediate starts and September starts, with both part-time and full-time opportunities available. Typical working hours are 09:00-15:00, Monday to Friday, giving you school-friendly hours without being stuck in a traditional classroom.

If your idea of tutoring is turning up with a stack of worksheets and a target grade, this probably isn’t for you.

You will not be delivering endless worksheets or constantly pushing a child to achieve grades they don’t currently care about.

Your role is about building a relationship first and helping the child engage with learning in a way that works for them.

You’ll plan fun and engaging sessions, engage with the child as a human being rather than a data point, inspire rather than intimidate and meet them where they are rather than where a spreadsheet says they should be.

This could mean taking them to a local park, farm or forest, going for a walk and having the conversations that actually matter, or using games, humour, movement and creativity to open the door to learning.

You could be planning meaningful activities such as baking, sewing, crafts, projects and life skills, or taking part in fully risk‑assessed trips to approved venues such as Planet Bounce where young people can move, laugh and feel like a kid again.

You’ll also work alongside other support workers and professionals around the child, helping to create a joined‑up approach to their support.

You’re not there to squeeze them into a system that already failed them.

You’re there to adapt to the child.

This is genuinely child‑focused work. Their interests. Their pace. Their needs. Their voice.

You build the relationship first. The learning comes after.

Progress isn’t always dramatic.

Sometimes progress is a day with no melt down.

Sometimes it’s a young person actually getting in the car.

Sometimes it’s simply a small, reluctant smile that wasn’t there last week.

That’s the stuff that matters here.

This is a community‑based role, not a static classroom position.

You will provide consistent 1:1 support to young people who are currently disengaged from education and their community.

You’ll work with children who have special educational needs or who experience SEMH difficulties and may struggle to regulate their emotions.

Some children may require 2:1 or 3:1 support.

You’ll support learning in flexible, creative and practical ways tailored to each young person, helping them re‑engage with their local community through structured and planned activities.

You’ll act as a positive, stable role model and trusted adult who doesn’t disappear at the first sign of challenge.

You’ll also promote emotional wellbeing, resilience, confidence and social development.

Transport and routine are a big part of the role.

You must feel confident picking a child or young person up from their home, supporting them throughout the day and taking them back home safely afterwards.

For many of these young people, that simple and predictable routine is where trust starts to rebuild. The same adult at the door, at the same time, in the same…
