The Role

• Build self-esteem and confidence through patient, positive teaching.
• Provide regular feedback and progress reports to parents/carers or schools.
• Maintain professional boundaries and uphold safeguarding standards.
• Complete safer recruitment and onboarding checks before commencing tuition.

What We're Looking For

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent teaching qualification.
• Specialist qualification in dyslexia or SpLD (e.g., Level 5 or Level 7 in Dyslexia and Literacy).
• Experience supporting learners with literacy difficulties and specific learning differences.
• Strong understanding of assessment, intervention, and differentiation strategies.
• A compassionate, learner-centred approach with excellent communication skills.
• Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to obtain).
• Commitment to safeguarding and equality of opportunity.

What We Offer
