Job Description:
Are you an SEN Teaching Assistant or Learning Support professional ready to take the next step into teaching?

We are recruiting a Functional Skills Tutor to deliver Maths and English to small groups of young people aged 16–24 who may be NEET or have SEN and EHCPs. Many learners face barriers to education, including low confidence or previous disengagement from school, so your role will be key in helping them rebuild confidence and achieve recognised qualifications.

Class sizes are intentionally small (typically 2–4 learners) so you can adapt your approach and provide the support each learner needs.

We have 2 x available roles:
*1x One Year FTC (subject to extension) supporting NEET Learners – you will only be covering Havering for this post.
*1 x Full Time Permanent position covering all delivery locations with 2 x days’ Work From Home (please see below)
Delivery Locations

Teaching takes place across several sites during the week:
*Monday: Bexley
*Tuesday: Work from home (planning and admin)
*Wednesday: Reading
*Thursday: Work from home (planning and preparation)
*Friday: Havering (Romford)
Driving can be helpful but is not essential, as the Elizabeth Line provides a direct route to Reading.

The Role

You will deliver Functional Skills Maths and English (Entry Level 3 – Level 2) in supportive small-group sessions.

Your focus will include:
*Supporting learners with SEN, EHCPs, or barriers to education
*Creating engaging and accessible lessons
*Helping young people build confidence and re-engage with learning
*Monitoring learner progress and maintaining records
*Working with the wider team to support progression into education, training or employment
Teaching sessions usually run between 9:30am – 2:00pm, with additional time for planning, learner support and administration.

Who This Role Would Suit

This role may suit:
*SEN Teaching Assistants ready to move into a tutor role
*Learning Support Assistants with experience supporting Maths or English
*Functional Skills Tutors
*Teachers, lecturers or youth workers with delivery experience
A teaching qualification is desirable, but support may be available to help you gain a Level 3 teaching qualification if you do not currently hold one.

Interview Process
*Panel interview with the education team
*Short micro-teach session
Please apply via this advert – everyone receives a response. If for any reason you haven’t heard back, call the office and we’ll action it straight away. If your CV isn’t quite the right fit, we’ll let you know how to get feedback from a real person.

If you’d like an informal chat, feel free to call the office and ask for Lawrence (number on the Red 5 People website).
