Tutor, Life Skills Coach​/Career Advisor, Tutoring

We are currently recruiting for a Functional Skills Tutor to join a programme based in Wakefield. The role requires travel across Yorkshire (York and Selby) and is ideal for someone passionate about supporting young people with additional needs into education, employment, and independence.
