Alternative Pathway Tutor

Grace College is a place of boundless potential, and we are seeking to recruit up to three 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 an Alternative Pathway Tutor, you will be responsible for:

• Planning and implementing 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 the centre or to complete at home
• Regularly setting appropriate targets for each student, assessing students’ work and reporting on student progress and attainment, with reference to EHCPs and Student Profiles. Preparing reports and participating in reviews where necessary
• Establishing a stable, caring and supportive learning environment which enables students to grow in character
• Supporting the Senior Behaviour Lead to implement school day routines within the classroom and spaces in the provision, ensuring that students can increasingly adhere to these routines
• Ensuring that during each lesson or activity planned, students are supported to manage their own conduct when they are dysregulated by following their personalised learning plan so that students who have experienced trauma, loss, rejection and other barriers to education can engage, learn, grow, heal and succeed
• Ensuring that students increasingly take responsibility for themselves, supporting them to take account of their conduct when something has gone wrong and introducing systems that recognise and celebrate good conduct

We have a clear model for school improvement to provide an outstanding education for all students and are relentless in the pursuit of this goal. You will be central to delivering our strategy as you transform both the school and our students’ futures.

Join us, and in addition to working with committed and helpful colleagues, the Trust can offer access to the following benefits:

• Defined benefit pension scheme
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Daily lunch allowance
• Free parking
• Access to our exclusive Benefits Hub
• Employee-centred and family-friendly policies and practices that support you in and beyond the workplace
• Enhanced sick pay, maternity leave and paternity leave (dependent on length of service)
