We are an education provider committed to providing high quality teaching and learning for all our learners. Many of these learners experience varying degrees of SEND, SEMH and SPLD including LAC and those with EHCP's. We aim to narrow the achievement gap by creating bespoke, curriculum-based tuition programmes, tailored to support their needs.

The ideal Planning Consultant is prepared to respond flexibly and quickly to the needs of our clients, travelling to family homes and assessing the learner's needs.

This is a flexible hours role that will change depending upon the time of year and demand from our clients - this role will be available during term time only. This is a hybrid role which will initially be highly peripatetic. You will be comfortable in visiting parent/carers & learners at home across the country, so you will need to be comfortable with travelling every week. The rest of the time will be spent working from home and/or at our Farnborough office.
