About the role

Study Mind is seeking a qualified English teacher to help a Year 9 pupil catch up on learning missed through health-related absences.

The role combines teaching missed school content with targeted support for reading, spelling and writing. You will build confidence and strengthen the skills needed for progression towards GCSE English.

The pupil needs a tutor who is patient, approachable and able to establish trust before increasing academic demands.

• Teach missed curriculum content in liaison with school.

• Develop spelling, sentence construction and extended writing.

• Use engaging texts and manageable tasks suited to the pupil’s age.

• Check in proactively and adapt support around anxiety and fatigue.

• Record progress and share feedback sensitively with the family.

Requirements

• QTS and experience teaching secondary English.

• Confidence combining KS3 teaching with targeted literacy intervention.

• Understanding of autism and anxiety.

• A calm, encouraging approach to reluctant or self-conscious learners.

• Ability to travel to Allestree homes and occasionally Royal Derby Hospital.

Sessions may begin at one hour and build towards two. Hours will be reviewed around the pupil’s health and school attendance.
