The Opportunity
Long Term Futures are recruiting an enthusiastic and reliable Alternative Provision Tutor to support a new programme based in Littleover, Derby. The provision supports young people aged 11–16 who are struggling to engage with mainstream education, offering a more practical and personalised approach to learning. Working with small groups of up to 10 learners, you will deliver sessions focused on sport, physical activity, wellbeing, employability and personal development.

This is a great opportunity for someone with a background in education, sports coaching, youth work or alternative provision who enjoys working with young people who need a different approach to learning.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver engaging sessions to small groups of learners aged 11–16, covering sport, physical activity, wellbeing and employability.
• Support young people with SEMH, SEND and behavioural needs, helping them build confidence, resilience and positive routines.
• Establish clear expectations and use positive behaviour management and de-escalation strategies to maintain a safe learning environment.
• Follow session plans and adapt activities to suit individual learning needs, abilities and levels of engagement.
• Monitor learner progress, maintain accurate attendance and session records, and report safeguarding concerns appropriately.
• Work closely with the wider provision team, contributing to daily debriefs, session preparation and ongoing learner development.

Who We’re Looking For

• Previous experience teaching, tutoring, coaching or supporting young people aged 11–16.
• Experience working with learners with SEMH, SEND, challenging behaviour or within Alternative Provision or PRU settings.
• Confidence delivering practical activities, particularly sport and physical activity, to small groups.
• Strong behaviour management skills, with a calm, patient and consistent approach.
• Good communication and organisational skills, with a clear understanding of safeguarding responsibilities.
• A reliable, proactive and adaptable individual who is passionate about helping young people overcome barriers to education.
• A teaching qualification, sports coaching qualification or previous experience within Alternative Provision would be advantageous.

Why Work with Long Term Futures?

• Competitive pay of up to £120 per day.
• Part-time, term-time working opportunities.
• Small groups of no more than 10 learners, supported by a dedicated team.
• Opportunities to develop experience within Alternative Provision and vocational learning.
• Access to safeguarding, first aid and de-escalation training through the provision.
• Ongoing support from a dedicated education recruitment consultant.
