GSL Education is looking for SEN Tutor to join our team of dedicated staff in a Academy, the secondary SEN school based in Colchester.

The main purpose of a tutor is to ensure the effective learning of their student being taught. Tutors are also required to contribute to the wider success of the school. All tutors are allocated students to work with on a 1:1 or 2:1 basis. The tutor is responsible for providing effective pastoral care to those they work with, in order to support their social and emotional progress as well as their learning. They are also required to contribute and be involved in extracurricular activities and the wider life of the school community. You will require a full driving licence to undertake this role, as there is some off site requirements.

We are a PRU School for pupils aged 5-16, most of whom have found it difficult to be successful in a mainstream school. We are very proud of the provision we offer, which is down to the great work our teachers and support staff do to re-engage young people with education. Students are taught in small groups enabling them to make good progress as teachers can ensure the learning is tailored to individual student needs.

At Key Stage 3, we focus on supporting young people to return to a mainstream school. At Key Stage 4, we focus on providing the opportunity for students to gain 5 GCSEs to ensure a successful transition to post 16 education or training. Many of the young people who attend our school arrive here at a point of crisis or conflict in their lives. It is our aim to ensure that we help them to regain a sense of confidence and self-esteem which allows them to compete on equal terms with their peers, despite the disruption to their education caused by leaving mainstream school.

This post will be paid at Unqualified Scale 1-6 (pay award pending September 2024).
