About us

Litherland High School is a vibrant and thriving community of wonderful children and fantastic, caring staff which we affectionately call our ‘Livo Family’.

Our school ethos is very much built around our dedication to the academic success of our children whilst maintaining outstanding pastoral care and support. Our staff know our children and families exceptionally well and in doing so, we develop strong relationships which underpin the achievement of our students. We take our role as a central part of the local community extremely seriously and we genuinely believe our school is unique in the strength of the bonds between staff and students.

Our school values are ‘Kindness, Integrity, and Tenacity’, and we endeavour to keep these values at the heart of our actions, and encourage our children to do the same.

What are we looking for?

Litherland High School are seeking to appoint an Academic and Pastoral Support Tutor to support and supervise individuals and groups of children under the direction/instruction of teaching and/or senior staff, specifically including the planning, teaching and delivery of tuition and lessons to Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 children. Use of identified tuition planning and resources, as directed by the Assistant Principal, and determined by the specific needs of the students. This will involve supporting students in person, remotely via Teams or other appropriate platform or in the home/neutral environment, providing tuition in English, Maths and other subjects. It is likely that the students being supported will be vulnerable; for example, students with SEND, looked after children or students who are unable to attend school as a result of anxiety or other medical issues.

This role is integral to the schools attendance and wellbeing strategy, therefore strong pastoral and safeguarding knowledge and skills are equally as important as the ability to provide academic support.
