Individual Intervention Tutor - English and Maths Support

London East AP (LEAP) is a successful, high-achieving KS3, KS4 and Post-16 alternative provision located in Tower Hamlets. 

We are seeking to appoint two Individual Intervention Tutors to support some of our most vulnerable and challenging pupils with their English and Maths skills at our KS3 and our KS4 centres in Bow and Stepney Green in Tower Hamlets. These will be time limited interventions for students who need a period of time away from main groups following a period of poor behaviour. 

This post involves spending 1.5 hour daily sessions with selected students who need support with preparation for their English and Maths exams. 

A graduate with good English and Maths skills is essential for this role, the purpose of which is to support pupils with their learning and exam preparation skills, enabling them to take as full a part in the school curriculum as possible and ensuring that they make best possible progress whilst they are at LEAP. 

The successful candidates will be given English and Maths materials to support students with, as well as training on how to communicate and interact with some of our more challenging and disengaged students at LEAP. Many of our students have learning challenges and struggle to access the curriculum beyond grades 3 and 4, often even lower. 

You will be required to record progress and report to and liaise with the Subject Leaders of English and Maths as well as our Deputy Headteacher responsible for KS4 at LEAP.  

We are looking for a team player who is keen to make a real difference to some of our most vulnerable students at LEAP, someone who is professional, friendly, reliable and able to build positive relationships with our often challenging and disadvantaged pupils.  

In order to be able to work with our students successfully, candidates must have strong literacy and numeracy skills and the academic ability to support students within the school curriculum which consists of GCSEs, BTECs and Functional Skills.  

This is a full-time post, term time only, and offered at SO1. 

Those wishing to be considered for the role should complete an application form and return to Kathryn Ryan, School Business Manager, by 12pm Monday, 27th March 2023. Interviews will take place on 30th March 2023. Please be aware that we are unable to accept CVs.  

We would welcome and encourage potential candidates to visit our schools. Please telephone or email to arrange this or for an application pack.
