Would you like to make a difference to the lives of young people?

Highfields College seeks a versatile Personal Development Tutor (Unqualified Teacher/HLTA-equivalent) for our Enrichment and Vocational curriculum. You will lead small group sessions across various subjects using teacher-provided planning to build student confidence and practical skills.

While initially based in Vocational studies, you must be willing to be deployed across other departments as student cohorts change. We need a proactive professional dedicated to delivering high-impact, therapeutic support to vulnerable learners.

Everyone at Highfields believes in the fundamental worth of each student. Every single student is provided with a wide variety of opportunities to develop academically whilst being nurtured in terms of their personal development (self-awareness & social skills, citizenship & character). This takes place in a safe and upbeat environment involving small groups and well-trained, experienced staff.

A key feature, for successful candidates, is that you can have empathy with students with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties and are able to work positively in a challenging and sometimes demanding environment.

This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

The successful applicant's appointment will be subject to satisfactory pre-employment clearances including a Disclosure and Barring Service check.
