Core Subject Tutor - Independent Alternative Provision School

About The Role

Have you got what it takes to succeed? The following information should be read carefully by all candidates. This is not a standard teaching role. At Pathway Academy Zone, you will be working with young people who need more than just lessons; they need structure, belief, and someone who can genuinely engage them.

We are looking for a Core Subject Tutor who can deliver English, Maths and Science, while also contributing to a broader curriculum that supports personal development and real-life readiness. You will work with small groups and on a 1:1 basis, helping learners who may have faced barriers in mainstream education to re‑engage and progress.

• Delivering engaging sessions across English, Maths and Science (KS3/KS4)
• Supporting delivery of wider curriculum areas including PSHE, RSHE, Humanities, RE, and PE
• Adapting teaching approaches to suit individual learning needs
• Working closely with learners with SEMH and additional needs
• Building strong relationships to improve behaviour and engagement
• Monitoring progress and maintaining clear, accurate records
• Supporting learners towards positive outcomes and progression

• Experience working with young people, ideally within alternative provision or similar settings
• Confidence delivering core subjects at KS3/KS4 level
• Ability to engage learners who may be disengaged from education
• Strong behaviour management and communication skills
• A calm, resilient and adaptable approach
• Teaching qualification or relevant subject‑based degree

• Experience with SEN/SEMH learners
• Background in alternative provision or PRU settings

• Small group sizes – real impact
• Opportunity to shape how learning is delivered
• Supportive environment with strong leadership
• A role where you see direct outcomes, not just attendance
