Teacher Sen

Job Advert

Young Giants is a holistic and inclusive term-time tuition and mentoring service, supporting children who are temporarily out of school (alternative provision) via daytime one-to-one tuition and mentoring in a child's home or venue within their community.

Founded and run by qualified teachers we work closely alongside our tutors in assessing and maintaining effective and needs-based packages of education support. We are not a tuition agency, rather an out-of-school education service, meaning we remain responsible for the management and quality of education for each of our learners. We build strong ties with any network or team around the child, forming part of the support network for each family we work with.

We pride ourselves on taking an extremely personalised and flexible approach for our learners and are seeking to work with similarly passionate, creative and experienced educators and mentors. Changing outcomes, changing lives and re-engaging children and young people with their education is the driving force behind our work.

Young Giants is an incredibly positive place for both our learners and our staff and we hold incredibly high tutor retention rates. Our collaborative approach ensures tutors feel safe and supported as part of a team and our learners feel heard.

There is a small resources budget for students and tutors may receive a £7 travel allowance per student visit.
