Job description

We are seeking a patient, trauma-informed Tutor/Mentor to support a Year 11 young person who requires an alternative, nurturing approach to re-engage in education.

About the Young Person
The student has a history of anxiety and trauma. Attendance has been low throughout high school, and they have received ongoing support from CAMHS and counselling services.

They have a diagnosis of ASD, and CAMHS have advised that their social, emotional and mental health needs currently prevent them from accessing traditional school provision.

At this stage, an alternative provision tutor is needed to:
– Provide a calm, consistent, trusted relationship
– Work at their pace, beginning with mentoring
– Introduce academic learning (Maths & English) only when they are ready
– Support their gradual, supported reintegration back into an educational environment
– Act as a stable key adult throughout the process
