What you’ll do:
You’ll work with Years 3–6 to deliver tightly focused catch-up sessions in reading, writing and maths.

You’ll prepare lean resources, keep sharp notes on progress, and agree next steps with class teachers after each cycle.

A clear communicator who’s organised, reliable and ready to learn from experienced staff. You break tricky ideas into simple steps, keep sessions purposeful, and build steady confidence—especially with pupils who need an extra nudge.
 
Requirements
• Degree – A 2:2 or above in any subject.
• Communication – Strong verbal and written communication.
• Enhanced DBS – Held already or willingness to obtain.
• Desire to work in education/with children – Genuine commitment to KS2 progress and inclusion.
• Experience working with children – Any relevant experience (tutoring, mentoring, volunteering) is desirable but not essential.
 
The School:
An ‘Outstanding’ primary in Hodge Hill with clear routines, excellent resources and a collaborative KS2 team. You’ll receive practical coaching, shared planning and regular feedback so you can make impact quickly and build a strong platform for ITT.
