Tutor- English

**We are looking for a special person who has significant experience of working with young people who require a bespoke educational programme.**

The purpose of the job is to enable young people referred to the charity to maximise their opportunities through enrichment activities alongside of educational and emotional support.

**Context**

The Educatch Charity is a tuition/support service with a difference. We deliver intensive support and offer a curriculum for young people who need something bespoke and who have struggled in other settings. Often this is due to a diagnosed SEN such as autism. Often our young people need a bespoke educational package therefore thrive through a relationship based approach.

The Educatch tutor will work closely with a network of other professional staff, within a highly supportive framework to provide a safety net to " catch" any young person who is slipping through the net.

You will need to be first and foremost a professional who cares about vulnerable, sometimes very complex, sometimes challenging young people and who will do their best to ensure they reach their fullest potential. You will be reliable, punctual and self motivated but most of all care about children and young people who require a bespoke child centred service.
