Job Description

Personal Tutor

Temporary | Contract | 0.8 Full-Time Equivalent

Location: the West Midlands

Start date: 7 September 2026

Are you passionate about supporting learners to get the most out of their studies?

About the Role

As a Personal Tutor with a further education provider in the West Midlands, you'll work alongside learners to help them stay on track, overcome barriers and plan their next steps. You'll be the consistent point of contact they turn to throughout their programme.

This is a role for someone who enjoys building relationships with young people and seeing the difference that steady, practical support can make.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Meeting learners one to one to review progress and agree targets.
  • Providing pastoral support and signposting learners to further help where needed.
  • Monitoring attendance, timekeeping and behaviour, and acting on concerns promptly.
  • Supporting learners with their next steps, including further study, apprenticeships and employment.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • Experience of working with young people in an education or support setting
  • Strong communication skills and a genuine commitment to learner success
  • An enhanced DBS check, or a willingness to obtain one

Desirable (but not essential):

  • Knowledge of additional learning needs
  • Up-to-date safeguarding training

If you're ready to help learners achieve more than they thought they could, we'd love to hear from you.
