Ashford UK, Kent, United Kingdom Bright Heart Education Part time

Urgently seeking an experienced SEN tutor with good availability who can provide support in Ashford.


About:


Bright Heart is an award-winning London-based tuition agency – we won the Tuition Business of the Year award in the 2022 National Tutoring Awards arranged by The Tutors’ Association (runners-up in 2023 and 2024). We were also an accredited Tuition Partner for the National Tutoring Programme (NTP) which ended in August 2024.


We offer a more nurturing approach and help students with special educational needs (SEN) and those lacking confidence or motivation. Our heart-based approach – the ‘Bright Heart Approach’ – involves meeting the whole person from their unique perspective with warmth to build trust, self-esteem and self-belief, before building on academic abilities.


Bright Heart is committed to providing the best possible care to its students and vulnerable adults and to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.


The role:


Bright Heart Education’s tuition agency (an employment business) seeks an experienced SEN tutor with excellent written and spoken English who can provide literacy and functional maths support for 15 hours per week - experience working with students with ASC strongly desired and applicants must have experience of Makaton. Tutors must be able to commute to Ashford.


Hours:

  • 15 hours per week: Monday-Friday, 10am-1pm.


Successful candidates will be provided with further information and guidelines on the Bright Heart Approach and relevant training for working with SEN students.


Benefits of the role:


You will be working as a self-employed, part-time tutor. Bright Heart provides its tutors with opportunities for professional development, including the potential for an employment contract if of interest. We have good opportunities for those wishing to tutor many hours each week.


In addition, Bright Heart offers the right candidate:

  • A £5 per journey travel contribution (in addition to the advertised pay rate)
  • A respectful working environment for tutors
  • On-going training and support from experienced education professionals
  • Access to comprehensive CPD and upskilling opportunities through TES Develop
  • Tutor of the Month award (prize of £150) selected each month
  • A 10% incentive for tutors who work 80 hours or more within an 6-month period


Key qualifications:


All candidates must have the right to work in the UK and a current Enhanced DBS certificate (with a check of the children’s barred list) before commencing any tutoring assignments (we can apply on behalf of a candidate if not currently held). Candidates must also provide 2 relevant professional references and a parent reference. Candidates who have lived / worked overseas in the last 5 years will also need to provide certain overseas checks, including a police certificate.

Please review the safer recruitment policy on our website for further details.


In addition, candidates should have:

  • At least 12 months of relevant tutoring and/or teaching experience in the UK
  • Excellent spoken and written English
  • Strong subject knowledge in their tuition subject(s)
  • University qualification or studying towards one and A-levels
  • Passion for teaching and their tuition subject(s)
  • SEN tuition/teaching experience and a passion for working with students with SEN


Applying to Bright Heart:


Please attach your CV and include a cover letter outlining your tuition experience, SEN experience and your motivation for applying to us, as well as your tutoring availability and the subjects and / or types of students you would like to tutor. Please note that applications with a cover letter and completed skills tests will be given strong preference.

Should we progress your application, we will contact you for a brief screening call. Potential next steps include completing an application form, a pre-interview questionnaire / checks (which include online checks), an online interview with a director, contracting and an in-person meeting in London.


Safeguarding and safer recruitment:


Bright Heart has a moral and legal obligation to ensure that, when given responsibility for young people and vulnerable adults, they are treated with the highest possible standard of care.

As disclosed in our safer recruitment policy (see our website), we aim to ensure that unsuitable candidates are deterred from applying to work with our students, and should they apply, they will not be successful in their application.

Our recruitment and selection procedures follow an equal opportunities policy. We aim to hire the most suitable candidates, with all applicants receiving fair and equitable treatment during the recruitment process.

Successful candidates will be required to sign Bright Heart’s Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy (available on our website) and complete safeguarding induction and annual refresher training.


We appreciate your interest.
