We are recruiting a Functional Skills Tutor to deliver Maths and English to small groups of young people with additional needs across Bexley, Havering and Reading.

This role focuses on supporting SEN learners aged 16–24 with EHCPs, helping them build confidence and achieve Functional Skills Maths and English from Entry Level 3 to Level 2.

The rest of the day is used for planning, learner support and administration.
