Job Description

Personal Development Tutor

Temporary

Location: the North West

Start date: 5 October 2026

Are you passionate about supporting young people to get the most out of their education?

About the Role

You'll join a further education provider in the North West, working alongside learners to help them stay on track, overcome barriers and plan their next steps. No formal teaching qualification is required — what matters is a genuine enthusiasm for supporting learners.

You'll work closely with individual students and with curriculum colleagues, picking up issues early and putting the right support in place.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Holding 1:1 meetings with learners to discuss progress and develop targets.
  • Providing pastoral support to learners throughout their studies.
  • Monitoring and actioning issues with timekeeping, attendance and behaviour.
  • Supporting learners with their next steps, including UCAS applications, apprenticeships, further study and work.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • Level 2 qualification or higher in English and maths
  • Experience working with young adults
  • Willingness to obtain an enhanced DBS check

Desirable (but not essential):

  • Knowledge of additional learning needs
  • Up-to-date safeguarding training, or a willingness to obtain it

If you're ready to help learners build the confidence and plans they need for what comes next, we'd love to hear from you.
