Core Subjects Tutor - Alternative Provision - Northamptonshire

At Pathway Academy Zone, you will be working with young people who need more than just lessons - they need structure, belief, and someone who can genuinely engage them.

We are a new school in North Northamptonshire, and because of that, this role is rare. You will not just be delivering a curriculum handed down to you - you will help shape how learning is delivered here. You will have a direct line to leadership, real influence over the school’s development, and the opportunity to build something that lasts.

We are looking for a Core Subject Tutor who can deliver English, Maths and Science, while also contributing to a broader curriculum that supports personal development and real-life readiness. You will work with small groups and on a 1:1 basis, helping learners who may have faced barriers in mainstream education to re-engage and progress.

What You Will Be Doing

• Delivering engaging sessions across English, Maths and Science (KS3/KS4)

• Supporting delivery of wider curriculum areas including PSHE, RSHE, Humanities, RE and PE

• Adapting teaching approaches to suit individual learning needs

• Working closely with learners with SEMH and additional needs

• Building strong relationships to improve behaviour and engagement

• Monitoring progress and maintaining clear, accurate records

• Supporting learners towards positive outcomes and progression

What We Are Looking For

• Experience working with young people, ideally within alternative provision or similar settings

• Confidence delivering core subjects at KS3/KS4 level

• Ability to engage learners who may be disengaged from education

• Strong behaviour management and communication skills

• A calm, resilient and adaptable approach

• Teaching qualification or relevant subject-based degree

Desirable

• Experience with SEN or SEMH learners

• Background in alternative provision or PRU settings

• Team Teach or equivalent de-escalation training
