Do you have a passion for making a difference in the lives of young people who need extra support to succeed?

Prospero Teaching is recruiting Specialist QTS Tutors to work with students throughout South Tyneside who are currently outside of mainstream education. These learners may face a variety of challenges, including Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, permanent exclusion, or other circumstances that have impacted their education.

We are looking for qualified teachers who can deliver high-quality, personalised tuition to Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 students in Maths, English, and Functional Skills. As a Specialist Tutor, you will plan and adapt lessons to meet each student's individual needs, helping to build confidence, develop essential skills, and inspire a positive attitude towards learning.

The Opportunity

You will be supporting young people on a 1-1 or small group basis who are not currently accessing full time education for various reasons.

Many of our young people have not attended school for some time and may have emotional barriers to learning. As a result, we are seeking nurturing QTS Tutors with a patient, flexible approach and a passion for working closely with students to overcome barriers to learning.

Your role with us:

• Deliver one-to-one or small group tuition in Maths and English, supporting with GCSE and Functional Skills Entry level 3, Level 1 or Level 2.
• Develop and implement personalised lesson plans that address individual learning gaps.
• Monitor student progress
• Create a supportive and motivating learning environment to help students re-build their confidence in learning.
• Complete daily attendance and weekly reports.

Role details:

• Pay rate up to 30 per hour depending on qualification and/or experience
• Up to 6 hours per week per student
• Start date: September 2026
• Location: South Tyneside
• Duration: ongoing, with the aim to reintegrate the student back into mainstream education
• Access to our Resource Hub, which includes learning materials
• Access to CPD accredited courses and training

To be eligible for the QTS Tutor role, you need:

• Previous experience working with young people with SEND such as young people with ADHD, SEMH and students who have been permanently excluded - this role is great for those with previous experience within a PRU.
• QTS or QTLS qualification
• Hold the right to work in the UK
