ACE Tutor; Champion Child

About the Role

We are looking to appoint an inspirational and dynamic colleague to join our team of committed and dedicated professionals who will do whatever it takes to help our young people achieve great things – beyond expectations. As an ACE Tutor you will be working with some of our most vulnerable learners and their families to offer personalised and bespoke support and guidance.

You will work hard to understand their individuality and help resolve barriers to their achievement – making a real difference to our students and our community. Through regular and meaningful contact you will forge profitable and trusting relationships that inspire confidence and help bridge the gap between school and home.

You will know each child you work with as an individual and over time learn what they need from us to help them achieve. It could be something as small as making sure they are equipped with all they need to come to school or working with other professionals to develop their ambition and resilience for a successful future. No two days will ever be the same – although they will always be rewarding and exciting.

Your previous experience as a learning support professional is less important to us than your clear vision on what can be achieved for our students and how we can motivate and inspire them to achieve great things. Because you have a calm, personable and patient manner and because you are creative, persistent and interested you will know why that is.

Our new colleague will have an unstinting belief that every young person, whatever their starting point or circumstances, can make and sustain exceptional progress and that our purpose is to change lives. You will have access to on‑going development opportunities and the support of a forward‑thinking, successful multi‑academy trust. You will be joining a team of strong and experienced staff who will do whatever it takes to help you to succeed in your new and exciting role.
