About Worcester Learning Zone
Worcester Learning Zone is an established education provider supporting children and young people through personalised tuition and alternative education provision.
We work with students with a range of educational needs, providing tailored support to help them develop their academic knowledge, confidence and skills. Our approach focuses on understanding each learner as an individual and creating a supportive environment where they can make progress.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and committed Key Stage 3 Tutor to join our team in Worcester and support the continued growth of our Young Minds provision.
The Role
This is an exciting opportunity for a flexible and motivated tutor to deliver high-quality tuition to small groups of students in Years 7 - 9.
Our students have a range of abilities and learning needs, and some may be working below age-related expectations. We are looking for someone who can adapt their teaching approach to meet individual needs, engage learners and help them make meaningful academic progress.
Initially, you will work with two groups of students within our 10am - 1pm teaching timetable. You will also work collaboratively with the wider team to provide continuity of learning and cover when required.
The role will suit a tutor who enjoys working in a small-group setting, can teach across the core curriculum and is passionate about helping young people reach their potential.

- Monitor, assess and record student progress, identifying areas where additional support may be required.
