About The Role
Can you make Maths and English feel relevant, achievable and even enjoyable?
At YMCA Derbyshire's Key College, we work with young people aged 16-24, including learners with SEND and EHCPs, helping them develop the confidence, knowledge and practical skills they need for education, employment and everyday life.
We're looking for an enthusiastic Maths & English Tutor to deliver engaging and inclusive Functional Skills and GCSE teaching across our Key College programmes. You'll meet learners at their individual starting points, help them overcome barriers and show them how Maths and English connect to the real world.
For some of our learners, success might mean achieving a qualification. For others, it could be gaining the confidence to tackle something they once thought was beyond them. You'll get to be part of both.

Make Maths & English mean something
This role is about much more than teaching towards an exam. It's about helping young people see where Maths and English fit into work, independence and everyday life. You'll have the freedom to use practical examples, vocational links and different teaching approaches to help learners understand concepts, build resilience and recognise the progress they're making. You'll join a supportive Key College team and contribute to curriculum planning, standardisation and quality improvement, while keeping the individual learner at the heart of what you do. If you want to help young people turn 'I can't do this' into 'I did it', we'd love to hear from you.
