Arts and Crafts SEN Tutor Leatherhead

We require an Arts and Crafts tutor to deliver a package of 1:1 support to a young person who is out of school.

The purpose of the role is to enable young people referred to the charity to maximise their opportunities through excellent educational and emotional support.

In the role the post holder will provide a range of interventions which will include predominantly 1:1 tuition and educationally focused project work and activities.

The post holder will need to be a great teacher but someone who will also co-ordinate and deliver integrated packages of support for the young person to promote their emotional and developmental needs ( including providing various levels of information, advice, advocacy and mentoring.)

Context

The Educatch Charity is a tuition/support service with a difference. We deliver intensive support and offer an academic and vocational curriculum for young people who need something bespoke and who have probably struggled in other settings.

The Educatch worker 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 great teacher who can navigate a curriculum and who cares about vulnerable, sometimes 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.

1. To work constructively and effectively to deliver creative individualised learning programmes for our young people.

2. To devise teaching materials and differentiate work so that what you do is relevant and meets targets towards agreed qualifications.

3. Be able to assess a young person whether it be in relation to risk management or GCSE.

5. Enjoy being part of active partnerships with local providers of education to provide additional opportunities for young people to maximise learning.
