About the Role:
We are seeking an experienced, calm, and relational Lead Teacher to deliver a high‑quality 2:1 tuition provision for a 16‑year‑old male student in Bournemouth.

He benefits from a patient, consistent, and creative approach. He responds well to adults who can build trust, use humour appropriately, and make learning practical and achievable. With clear boundaries, predictable routines, and learning broken into manageable steps, he can engage well and make strong progress.
You will lead English and Maths sessions at Entry Level Functional Skills, ensuring lessons are accessible, structured, and tailored to his needs. The role also involves supporting emotional regulation, reducing barriers to engagement, and helping him feel safe and understood.

- Adapt teaching for language-processing difficulties and working memory challenges
- Work collaboratively with support staff and families

Requirements:
