Tutor - Alternative Provision (Supply)

Sheffield | Up to £240 per day (Dependent on Experience, Qualifications & Assignment)

Tradewind Recruitment is currently recruiting experienced and passionate Tutors to provide high-quality, personalised education to children and young people across Sheffield, working outside of the traditional school setting. This rewarding supply opportunity offers flexibility while making a genuine difference to pupils who require additional support to achieve their full potential.

As a Tutor, you will work on a 1:1 basis with Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 (KS3/KS4) pupils across a range of settings, including homes, community venues and alternative provisions, delivering tailored educational support that meets each learner's individual needs. Due to the nature of the role and travelling between multiple locations, candidates must hold a full UK driving licence and have access to their own vehicle.

The Role

You will be supporting secondary-aged pupils (KS3 & KS4) who are unable to access mainstream education for a variety of reasons. Many of the young people you will work with have Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, and Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs).

Working closely with schools, local authorities and families, you will deliver engaging, personalised learning programmes designed to build confidence, re-engage pupils with education and help them achieve positive outcomes. You will primarily provide tuition in core subjects, adapting your teaching to suit each learner's individual abilities, interests and educational goals.

Responsibilities

Deliver engaging 1:1 tuition to KS3 and KS4 pupils, tailored to their individual learning needs.
Travel to pupils at a variety of locations across Sheffield, including homes, community venues and alternative provisions.

Deliver high-quality tuition in core curriculum subjects, ensuring lessons are engaging and accessible.
Build positive, trusting relationships that encourage engagement, attendance and progress.
Support pupils academically while promoting emotional wellbeing, resilience and confidence.
Monitor progress and maintain accurate records of learning and achievement.
Work collaboratively with schools, families and other professionals to support each learner's educational journey.
Implement effective behaviour management strategies using a nurturing and trauma-informed approach where appropriate.
Maintain the highest standards of safeguarding and child protection.
