Quantum Scholars are looking for caring, reliable and experienced Secondary Tutors to support secondary-aged children and young people in and around Yeovil, Somerset.

This is an in-person tuition role. Tuition will take place in the young person's home and/or a suitable community setting, depending on the individual referral. Please note that this is not online work, so applicants must be able to travel to Yeovil and the surrounding areas.

We work with pupils who may be educated other than at school, awaiting a suitable placement, or in need of additional personalised support. Tuition is usually delivered on a 1:1 basis and is tailored to the needs, ability and circumstances of each young person.

We are particularly interested in tutors who can provide a calm, flexible and young person-centred approach. The successful tutor will be able to build positive relationships, adapt learning to meet individual needs, and deliver engaging sessions that support confidence, progress and re-engagement with education.

We welcome applications from tutors with experience across a range of secondary subjects, particularly English, Maths, Science and Humanities.

The role may involve:

Providing 1:1 in-person tuition for secondary-aged pupils in and around Yeovil

Travelling to pupils' homes and/or suitable community settings

Supporting core academic skills, subject knowledge and confidence

Helping pupils re-engage with education at a pace that is right for them

Using creative and interest-led approaches to support motivation

Adapting sessions to suit each young person's needs, ability and emotional readiness

A patient, encouraging and flexible approach

The legal right to work in the UK

Applicants must have the right to work in the UK. Unfortunately, we are unable to consider applicants who do not meet this requirement.

Please also note that this is not an online tutoring role. Applicants must be available for in-person tuition in Yeovil and the surrounding areas.

Qualified Teacher Status would be highly desirable, particularly for referrals requiring a qualified teacher. We would also welcome applications from experienced tutors, instructors or education professionals with strong secondary subject knowledge and relevant experience.

Applicants must have, or be willing to obtain, an enhanced DBS certificate and be able to provide suitable references.

This is a rewarding opportunity to provide personalised, face-to-face support to young people who need a flexible, understanding and engaging approach to learning.
