This isn't your typical classroom teaching role.

At Ysgol Antur Cwm, we work with boys aged 11 to 16 with Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs. Many of our pupils have experienced significant disruption to their education and may arrive with gaps in their English and Maths, low confidence in their academic ability or a history of disengagement from traditional classroom learning.

We are looking for an English & Maths Tutor to take a leading role in the delivery of focused academic learning within our school.

Unlike many of our roles, this position is predominantly school based. Pupils will attend planned English and Maths sessions with you, allowing you to provide consistent, structured teaching while building strong individual relationships.

Our approach is based around understanding exactly where each pupil is academically and giving them a clear route forward.

We baseline pupils to establish their current ability and use structured learning pathways to identify what they need to learn next. Your role will be to turn that pathway into engaging teaching, monitor progress and help each pupil move forward at an appropriate pace.

The structure is there. How you bring the learning to life is where we want your creativity.

You will take day to day responsibility for planning, preparing and delivering English and Maths teaching to pupils attending Ysgol Antur Cwm.

Our pupils generally receive highly individualised support, meaning teaching can be adapted around the ability, interests, confidence and learning needs of the young person in front of you.

You will use baseline assessment information and our developing English and Maths learning pathways to understand each pupil's starting point, identify their next learning objectives and plan teaching that moves them progressively towards their longer term academic goals.

This is not simply a role where worksheets or pre prepared lessons are handed to you.

We want someone who can take ownership of the curriculum, think proactively about what each pupil needs next and develop engaging ways of teaching it.

You will have freedom to be creative in how learning is delivered. For one pupil, percentages might make more sense through budgeting and money. Another may engage with reading through something connected to mechanics, sport or a personal interest.

• Plan, prepare and deliver high quality English and Maths teaching.
• Use baseline assessments to understand pupils' individual starting points.
• Follow structured English and Maths learning pathways to identify appropriate next steps.
• Take ownership of curriculum planning and progression within your subject areas.
• Adapt teaching to individual ability, learning needs and interests.
• Deliver focused individual and small scale teaching sessions within the school.
• Develop engaging resources and activities that make English and Maths relevant to pupils who may previously have disengaged from academic learning.
• Monitor pupil progress and identify where additional intervention or a different teaching approach may be required.
• Regularly assess whether pupils are secure in their current learning before progressing them to the next stage.
• Record teaching, progress and evidence accurately using the school's digital systems.
• Use InsightED and other educational technology confidently as part of planning, assessment and evidence recording.
• Work alongside school staff to ensure academic learning complements pupils' wider vocational and practical curriculum.
• Contribute to progress reports, IDP reviews and other pupil reviews where appropriate.
• Identify opportunities to improve our English and Maths curriculum, resources and learning pathways.
• Maintain high expectations while recognising the individual needs and starting points of our pupils.
• Carry out any other reasonable duties required to support the effective running of the school.
