About The Role
Do you believe every young person deserves the opportunity to succeed?
At YMCA Derbyshire's Key College, we work with young people aged 16-24 with SEND and EHCPs, helping them develop the confidence, skills and independence they need to move into employment, Supported Internships and brighter futures.
We're looking for an inspiring and motivated Lead Tutor to join our growing team. This is far more than a teaching role it's an opportunity to lead programmes, mentor colleagues, shape provision and make a lasting difference to young people's lives.
Every day you'll see the impact of your work as learners achieve milestones, they never thought possible.
