Job overview

As a Personal Tutor, you will play a key role in helping students make excellent progress while enjoying a rewarding and well-supported college experience.

Providing advice and guidance to support students in navigating college life and achieving their goals.
Monitoring attendance and behaviour, identifying concerns, and taking appropriate action where needed.
Communicating with parents or guardians to keep them informed and involved when necessary.
Supporting progression planning, including overseeing UCAS applications and preparing students for life beyond
College.
In addition to your pastoral responsibilities, you’ll also contribute to the College’s Admissions work. This includes:
Interviewing prospective students at College interview evenings.
Representing the College at liaison events with partner high schools, some of which take place in the evening.
