The posting

Academic & Engagement Tutor – Extended Learning

Permanent. Full-time. Teacher’s Main Pay Scale (QTS)

Community-based across Portsmouth; Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole and Ringwood. Area assigned depending on where you live/need of the service - travelling is required

Full driving licence with business insurance and access to a vehicle essential

Not a typical teaching role. A different kind of impact.

When school isn’t an option, you become the starting point.

At Extended Learning we work with young people who are currently unable to access education in the traditional way. For many, school feels overwhelming, out of reach, or no longer safe.This is where you come in.

As an Academic & Engagement Tutor, you’ll meet students where they are, at home or in the community and help them take their first steps back towards learning, confidence, and self-belief.

Let’s be honest

This isn’t a traditional tutoring or classroom-based teaching role.

You won’t always be delivering structured lessons.You won’t always see immediate academic progress. Some sessions won’t look like “teaching” at all.

Some days you’ll be:

  • Sitting in a living room building trust
  • Taking a short walk just to get a student out of the house
  • Adapting your entire plan in the moment
  • Encouraging engagement when motivation is low

Because before learning can happen, connection has to come first. Progress can be slow. Trust can take time. But when it comes - it matters…

A student engages. A conversation opens up. Learning becomes possible again. Those moments are everything.

The role

You’ll plan, prepare and deliver personalised 1:1 sessions that balance academic learning and emotional engagement, supporting students to:

  • Reconnect with education at their own pace
  • Build confidence and self-esteem
  • Cement their knowledge, understanding and interests to gain AQA Awards
  • Make progress in English and Maths (Functional Skills/GCSE)
  • Develop routines, resilience, and positive learning habits
  • Transition back into school, college, or next steps

You’ll also:

  • Work closely with families of students
  • Adapt strategies to overcome barriers to engagement
  • Monitor progress and keep clear, accurate records
  • Prioritise safeguarding and student wellbeing at all times

Who this role suits

You’ll thrive in this role if you are:

  • Patient, flexible and emotionally resilient
  • Comfortable working independently in community settings
  • Able to build trust with young people who may be disengaged or anxious
  • Creative and adaptive in your approach to teaching and engagement
  • Motivated by small steps and long-term impact rather than quick wins

You’ll need:

  • QTS or strong tutoring/teaching experience
  • Experience supporting young people with SEND, SEMH or additional needs
  • A full UK driving licence with business use insurance and access to a vehicle
  • If you don’t have QTS but feel you’re the right fit, we still want to hear from you.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
