Teacher Active is seeking dedicated and adaptable 1:1 Tutors to deliver alternative provision for students across Cheshire West and Chester

• Deliver high-quality, personalised 1:1 tuition sessions in safe, agreed locations
• Build rapport with students who may have disengaged from traditional education
• Work collaboratively with parents/carers, education consultants, and local authorities
• Support reintegration into school settings or transitions to specialist provision
• Adapt your teaching style to suit a wide range of needs and backgrounds

• Minimum 6 months experience supporting young people with SEND, SEMH, or challenging behaviour
• Empathetic, calm, and resilient mindset with a trauma-informed approach
• Ability to plan and deliver creative, engaging learning activities
• Flexibility to work around individual learner needs and schedules
• Commitment to safeguarding and inclusive practice
• An Enhanced DBS on the update service (or willingness to obtain one)
