Grace College is a place of boundless potential, and we are seeking to recruit two skilled and passionate tutors who will help to ensure that when students require an alternative pathway to remain part of our school community, they are provided with bespoke tuition in Maths, English and Personal Development. As a tutor the successful candidate will report directly to the Assistant Vice Principal: Student Support. Each student who accesses tutoring will have two sessions (either AM or PM) in a bespoke centre on the school site where their tutor will facilitate their learning in Maths, English and Personal Development. Working with the Heads of Department in each subject to ensure students broadly follow the curriculum and make progress in each area, but create personalised resources to support them to access the content.

The Role

Responsible to the Assistant Vice Principal: Student Support

Plan and implement bespoke learning in Maths, English and Personal Development for Key Stage 3 and 4 students, in small groups.

• Liaising with Heads of Department (Maths, English and Personal Development) to plan and implement lessons that ensure students are broadly following the curriculum that their peers are following, creatively adapting resources to meet the needs of students who are accessing tutoring.

• The delivery of literacy-based learning to support students who are reading and writing below age related expectations to support their learning in centre or to complete at home.

• Regularly set appropriate targets for each student, assess students’ work and report on student progress and attainment, with reference to EHCPs and Student Profiles. Prepare reports and participate in reviews, where necessary.

Establish a stable, caring and supportive learning environment which enables students to grow in character.

• Ensure that the routines within the classroom and spaces in the provision are effective and support students to increasingly adhere to these routines.

• Ensure that during each lesson, or activity planned, students are supported to manage their own conduct when they are dysregulated by following their personalised learning plans so that students who have experienced trauma, loss, rejection and other barriers to education can engage, learn, grow, heal and succeed.

• Ensure that students increasingly take responsibility for themselves, supporting them to take account for their conduct when something has gone wrong and introducing systems that recognise and celebrate good conduct.
