For educators who believe the learner comes before the lesson.
Bath Rugby Foundation is recruiting a Functional Skills Tutor to support 14–16-year-olds at our Alternative Learning Hub — a space for young people who haven’t thrived in mainstream education.
We're looking for someone who can deliver Maths and/or English in small, relational groups, bringing learning to life through real-world contexts and helping students work towards recognised qualifications.
This role is ideal for a qualified teacher, tutor or educator who may have stepped away from traditional settings but still believes in the power of education done differently.
We’re looking for someone who:
• Holds a recognised teaching or assessor qualification
• Has experience delivering Functional Skills or similar qualifications
• Understands that behaviour is communication — and meets it with insight, not punishment
• Thrives in small-group, relational settings where every day is different
You’ll be responsible for:
• Planning and delivering Functional Skills Maths and/or English
• Tracking and reporting progress toward qualifications
• Adapting content to meet individual needs
• Feeding into learner reviews and wider planning
What you will do:
• Design and deliver a fun, engaging Functional Skills curriculum (Entry Level 3 to Level 2) in English or Maths
• Teach small groups, adapting to individual needs
• Prepare students for exams and manage our exam board relationship
• Work with youth workers, mentors, and wellbeing staff
• Track progress and help create a positive, encouraging learning culture
What you will bring:
• A recognised teaching qualification (PGCE, QTS or FE equivalent)
• Experience teaching Functional Skills or GCSE English/Maths
• A trauma-informed approach and understanding of the barriers disengaged young people face
Desirable:
• Experience in AP, PROs, or youth work settings
• DBS clearance or willingness to obtain
We welcome applications from qualified teachers, tutors and experienced educators from non-traditional backgrounds. If you believe education should meet the learner — not the other way round — we’d love to hear from you.
