Those huge small victories
We are the highest Ofsted-rated provider in the country for special education and care. As we expand our offer through our innovative Inclusion Services online provision, we remain driven by the same belief, that even the smallest positive changes in our young people matter. Our teams are fulfilled by those huge small victories, whether that’s a learner re-engaging with education online, building confidence in a subject they once avoided, or taking meaningful steps towards reintegration and positive outcomes.
This is a fully remote teaching role
This is a fully remote teaching role, designed to give you the flexibility to work from home while making a meaningful impact. Unlike some online provisions, you will not be required to deliver from a central office, allowing you to focus on what matters most, engaging and supporting young people.
Get out what you put in
As Lead Science Tutor within our Inclusion Services online provision, you will shape and deliver high-quality, engaging Science education for young people who need a different approach and a fresh start. This is not a traditional teaching role. You will work with pupils who are often disengaged from education and do not respond to passive approaches. They need learning that feels practical, interactive and brought to life, and a teacher confident enough to hold attention, manage challenge and bring them with you.
- Design and deliver high-impact online lessons that build understanding, confidence and resilience
- Adapt in real time, think on your feet, and use your subject expertise to make Science accessible, relevant and achievable
- Contribute to curriculum design, develop interactive digital resources, and support the ongoing refinement of our online platform
- Work with education and clinical colleagues to create a calm, safe and aspirational learning environment
- Play a key role in shaping a provision that is innovative, flexible and truly inclusive
