Quantum Scholars is working with Hillingdon Council to recruit experienced and compassionate Alternative Provision Tutors to provide personalised one-to-one support to children and young people across Hayes and the surrounding areas.

As an approved Alternative Provision provider, we support learners who are currently unable to access mainstream education for a variety of reasons. This is a rewarding opportunity to work closely with young people who may have experienced barriers to education and help them re-engage with learning, rebuild their confidence and make meaningful progress.

Sessions are generally delivered in learners' homes or suitable community settings during school hours, providing a safe and supportive environment tailored to each learner.

You will work with children and young people who may have a range of additional needs and barriers to education, including:

• Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC)
• ADHD
• Anxiety and other mental health needs
• Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA)
• Medical needs
• Social, emotional and behavioural challenges
• School refusal or disengagement from education
• Other SEND and additional learning needs

We are looking for tutors who are confident working with learners who may have struggled within mainstream education. The ability to build trusting relationships, establish routines and adapt your approach is essential.

As an Alternative Provision Tutor, you will:

• Deliver engaging and personalised 1:1 tuition
• Support learners across core subjects including English, Maths, Science and other curriculum areas
• Plan and adapt sessions according to each learner's individual needs, ability and interests
• Help learners overcome barriers to education and develop positive attitudes towards learning
• Build confidence, resilience, independence and self-esteem
• Establish positive and consistent relationships with learners
• Provide encouragement and pastoral support where appropriate
• Monitor progress and adapt your approach to help learners achieve their educational goals
• Work flexibly during school hours, Monday to Friday
• Deliver tuition in learners' homes or appropriate community settings

We are particularly interested in hearing from tutors based in Uxbridge, Hayes, West Drayton, Ickenham, Ruislip, Northwood, Hillingdon, Yiewsley, Cowley and the surrounding areas, where we are seeing an increasing number of learner referrals.

To be successful in this role, you should have:

• Experience teaching, tutoring or supporting children and young people
• Experience working with learners who have SEND, SEMH or additional needs
• Experience working with young people who may be disengaged from mainstream education
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• The ability to adapt your teaching and approach to meet individual needs
• A patient, empathetic, resilient and flexible approach
• The confidence to work independently with learners on a 1:1 basis
• An Enhanced DBS certificate, or willingness to obtain one
• The right to work in the UK
