At Paragon Skills, demand for our Health & Social Care programmes continues to grow, and we're looking for a Personal Tutor to support learners across Kent and Sussex studying towards their Level 2, Level 3, Level 4 and Level 5 qualifications. With more learners and employer partners joining our programmes across the region, we're growing our Personal Tutor team to meet increasing demand and maintain the high levels of support and learner experience we're known for. As one of the UK's Top 5 training providers, as rated by our apprentices, and a three-time Times Top 100 Best Places to Work winner, we're proud of the difference we make to learners, employers and the wider Care sector every day.
About The Role
We're looking for engaging, supportive and experienced professionals to join our growing Personal Tutor team, delivering Health & Social Care qualifications at Levels 2 to 5 across Kent and Sussex.
As a Personal Tutor, you'll guide learners throughout their programme, helping them develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed to achieve their qualification and progress in their careers. You'll support both frontline care professionals and those progressing into leadership and management roles within the sector.
Through our market-leading Elevate programme, you'll provide high-quality teaching, coaching and assessment, ensuring every learner receives an exceptional learning experience from start to finish.
What You'll Be Doing
- Inspire, motivate and support learners to achieve their Health & Social Care qualifications.
- Deliver engaging and effective teaching, learning and assessment tailored to individual learner needs.
- Manage a caseload of learners across Kent and Sussex, providing regular reviews, workplace observations and progress support.
- Offer constructive feedback that drives learner development and achievement.
- Build positive relationships with employer partners across the region, ensuring a first-class learner experience.
- Promote and maximise engagement with our Elevate workshops and learning resources.
- Monitor learner progress through our Learning Management System, BUD.
- Work collaboratively with our specialist Functional Skills and Additional Learning Support teams.
- Produce clear, accurate and meaningful review and observation documentation.
- Maintain compliance with GDPR and safeguarding requirements.

The Support You'll Receive

This means you can focus on delivering high-quality teaching, coaching and learner progression.

- Delivering Functional Skills qualifications.
- Recruiting or generating your own learners.
- Enrolling learners onto programmes.
- Delivering workshop content, as this is provided through our dedicated Workshop Tutors and Elevate delivery teams.
