Those huge small victories

We are the highest Ofsted-rated provider in the country for special education and care. As we expand our offer through our innovative Inclusion Services online provision, we remain driven by the same belief, that even the smallest positive changes in our young people matter. Our teams are fulfilled by those huge small victories, whether that’s a learner re‑engaging with education online, building confidence in a subject they once avoided, or taking meaningful steps towards reintegration and positive outcomes.

This is a fully remote teaching role, designed to give you the flexibility to work from home while making a meaningful impact. Unlike some online provisions, you will not be required to deliver from a central office, allowing you to focus on what matters most, engaging and supporting young people.

As Lead English Tutor within our Inclusion Services online provision, you will shape and deliver an engaging, accessible English curriculum for young people who need education done differently.

This is not a traditional teaching role. You will work with pupils who are often disengaged from education and do not respond to passive approaches. They need learning that feels relevant, interactive and alive, and a teacher confident enough to hold attention, manage challenge and bring them with you.

You will design and deliver high‑impact online lessons that build connection, rebuild confidence and make English meaningful. You will adapt in real time, think on your feet, and use your subject expertise to unlock both literacy and self‑belief.

Alongside teaching, you will contribute to curriculum design and the development of our online platform. Working with education and clinical colleagues, you will help create a calm, safe and aspirational learning environment and play a key role in shaping a genuinely inclusive model of online education.
