Are you passionate about teaching maths or English and helping young people achieve recognised qualifications?

Do you enjoy supporting learners to build confidence, develop skills, and make meaningful progress toward their employment and career goals?

If so, we’d love you to join our committed and friendly team.

Learning Services Worcestershire is expanding its Young Adult Learning provision in Worcester and Redditch and is recruiting enthusiastic sessional staff to deliver maths, English and pastoral support.

We welcome applications from individuals who can deliver in one or more of these areas. You do not need experience in all three disciplines to apply.

English and maths (GCSE and Functional Skills, Entry Level to Level 2) are a core component of our employment-focused Study Programmes for learners aged 16–24, supporting them to achieve the qualifications they need to progress. Alongside this, our Employability and Engagement Programmes (EEP) provide tailored support to help learners build confidence, develop essential life and work skills, and prepare for their next steps into education, training or employment.

Many of our learners have experienced disrupted education and have a range of support and learning needs, including social, emotional and mental health challenges. Through small class sizes, a flexible approach and strong pastoral support, we provide high-quality teaching that helps learners build confidence, thrive and succeed.

About the Roles

We are recruiting to our standard career-graded tutor pathway:

Assistant Tutors – £13.26 per hour
Support learning, build confidence, and help learners engage with maths or English. Ideal for those starting a teaching career or with experience supporting young people.

Tutors – £14.82 per hour

Senior Tutors – £16.35 per hour
