Home Tutors - English Specialists - North Buckinghamshire

Overview

We are looking for qualified English teachers to join our Home Tuition Service. The Aspire Medical Provision supports those children and young people who are too unwell to attend their mainstream school. These students are referred by CAMHS or other medical professionals, with the support of their mainstream schools and/or the Local Authority. The Home Tuition Service is part of the Aspire Medical Provision and delivers education across Buckinghamshire. Our focus is to support young people to reach their potential and enable them to re-engage with, and maintain, their learning and ideally to reintegrate back into their mainstream school.  Our candidate pack can be downloaded here.

Personal attributes

In many instances, the young person may have been out of education for some time and so home tutors need to be skilled in building trust and relationships and in finding different ways to engage a child with the learning. Students are referred from a range of settings, both at primary and secondary school level and tutors would need to be confident and up-to-date with their subject knowledge and pedagogy and be able to adapt that knowledge in order to teach a range of exam syllabuses. This is a highly rewarding and varied role.  

You will be required to travel within the area of North Buckinghamshire, therefore access to your own vehicle is a requirement.

You will need to demonstrate the ability to work independently without direct supervision and have experience of a range of strategies to engage students with varying medical needs. You should have experience of working to support the needs of a diverse range of school-aged children. 

You will need to mention the days on which you are available. This would suit teachers who are looking for a flexible working arrangement. 

Salary & Benefits

MPS/UPS Each hour of lesson time is paid at 1.5 hours to cover additional time spent on preparation, meeting etc. Travel costs are reimbursed. Our tutors are members of the Teachers' Pension Scheme.
