About The Role

We are seeking enthusiastic and committed Primary and Secondary Teachers to join our growing LEAD Service.
As a LEAD Tutor, you will deliver high-quality educational provision to children and young people who are unable to access mainstream education due to medical needs, SEND, anxiety, exclusion, or other barriers to learning. You will work with learners across a range of settings, including group provision, community venues and alternative learning environments.

The role is based at Hounslow House; however, LEAD Tutors are expected to deliver tuition across the London Borough of Hounslow. Applicants must therefore be willing and able to travel to a variety of settings, including schools, community venues and other learning environments, as required by the service.

We are particularly interested in hearing from qualified teachers with experience in either Primary or Secondary education who are passionate about supporting vulnerable learners and helping young people to re-engage with education.

About The Team You’ll Be Working In

We are looking for qualified Primary and Secondary teachers who:

• Hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or an equivalent recognised teaching qualification.

• Have experience of teaching within a primary or secondary setting.

• Can adapt learning to meet the needs of children and young people with SEND, SEMH needs and other barriers to education.

• Have strong behaviour management and relationship-building skills.

• Are committed to improving outcomes for vulnerable learners.

• Can work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary team.

About You

This is an exciting opportunity to work within a specialist education service that makes a real difference to the lives of children and young people. You will have the opportunity to deliver creative and flexible learning programmes, work closely with families and professionals, and support learners to achieve positive educational outcomes.

Please note: These are full-time, permanent positions and are not term-time only. The roles operate throughout the year and include planning, review meetings, training and service development activities alongside teaching responsibilities.

If the points below resonate with you, we'd love you to put in an application:

• You are a qualified Primary or Secondary Teacher with a passion for improving outcomes for children and young people.

• You are committed to supporting learners who face barriers to education, including those with SEND, SEMH needs, medical needs, school avoidance, or those accessing alternative provision.

• You can build positive and trusting relationships with children, young people, families and professionals.

• You are creative, adaptable and able to tailor learning to meet individual needs and learning styles.

• You have high expectations and are committed to helping every learner achieve their potential.

• You enjoy working collaboratively as part of a supportive and dedicated team.

• You are motivated by making a real difference to the lives of vulnerable children and young people.
