Are you a Tutor committed to improving the lives of children and young people?
We are looking for a Tutor to join our fantastic team at Options Barton. As a Tutor, you will support our teachers in taking a creative approach to teaching pupils according to their educational needs, maximising children’s achievement, and ability to develop.
This is a great opportunity for a Tutor who is looking to continue their career in Education and is motivated to inspire learning in children with varied and complex needs. Your work will be challenging and rewarding in equal measure, and you will be working in a school where we maintain a strong safeguarding culture, where pupils are listened to, respected and involved in as many decisions as possible.
Quality is always top of our agenda, and we pride ourselves on the quality of what we do. We are looking for a Tutor, who can work with individual and small groups of children, planning and leading lessons when required, and building relationships with pupils to promote interaction and learning. Taking on some day-to-day organisation for the class group and leading the group in the absence of the class teacher. Attending meetings and providing written reports about the students in the group.
You will be looking to bring your previous experience of working in an SEN/ASC environment to a school that shares your vision to build incredible futures by empowering vulnerable young people in the UK, to be happy and to make their way in the world.
Having already had experience working with students with ASC and associated needs, you will be calm, engaging, resilient, enjoy working as part of a team, be confident in leading classes and small groups, and be genuinely motivated by helping every child to reach their potential.

About Barton School
For young people with an Autistic Spectrum Condition and complex needs. A DCSF registered school and Ofsted registered children’s home offering 52-week and 38-week (term time) individually-designed programmes for young people aged 8-19. Day education placements and short break residential services available.
Located on the edge of the town of Barton upon Humber, North Lincolnshire, Barton School is a purpose-built facility incorporating a range of innovative concepts and approaches to enable young people with an Autistic Spectrum Condition to make sense of the world around them, as part of a programme designed to encourage them to achieve their full potential. We follow an autism-specific, holistic approach across both the school and home. Young people are given opportunities to develop the skills they need to live as independently as possible. Emphasis is given to structure, clear strategies and personal targets. Young people access a creative and flexible curriculum and the use of visual strategies to support communication is strongly emphasised. This is linked to a range of activities that promote each person’s life skills and social development.
Barton School has a registered capacity of 34, aged between 8-19, including up to 8 day places. Class size can range from individual tuition to groups of up to 5, with a high staff-pupil ratio. The School looks for innovative ways to teach the National Curriculum and to support the home in reinforcing Life Skills Development. The curriculum is broad and balanced and includes a wide range of creative, physical and multi-sensory activities. Each young person’s unique programme takes into account their particular strengths, emerging talents and individual learning style. Particular priority is given to communication and interpersonal skills and regular physical activity is also included.
The environment of the children’s home is designed to meet the needs of young people with an Autistic Spectrum Condition and we work closely with the school to ensure consistency. This integrated approach helps the individual to develop skills for life through a wide range of activities. Young people are encouraged to use all of the site’s facilities and we often take trips out to local amenities where they learn life skills such as shopping and visiting restaurants.
There is also time for plenty of fun activities. Our proximity to the countryside and coast allows young people to enjoy a range of outdoor pursuits and trips to the seaside. We welcome visits from parents and Placement Officers to experience the warm and caring atmosphere. Visitors are often amazed at the detailed thought in the design of the home which allows young people with Autism make sense of the world in an enjoyable place to live.
