Job description
We are seeking an enthusiastic and creative

High Needs Tutor

to join our team, delivering study programmes to young people aged 16-24 with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).



The successful candidate will plan and deliver engaging sessions that inspire learners and embed English and maths skills through creative, practical projects. You will use innovative approaches to make learning meaningful, ensuring learners can apply their skills in real-life contexts.



Our programmes focus on developing essential foundations for life, with pathways in

Independence, Health and Happiness, Education, and Progression

. You will support learners to raise aspirations, build confidence, and prepare for further education, training, or employment.



We work with a diverse range of learners, from Pre-Entry level through to Level 1, so flexibility, patience, and a learner-centred approach are essential. Strong communication and organisational skills will enable you to adapt delivery to meet individual needs and support positive outcomes.



If you are passionate about making a difference and have the creativity to bring learning to life, we would love to hear from you.



We are investing in our workforce and are promoting opportunities to our under-represented groups. We value equality, diversity and inclusion and are focused on increasing the diversity of our workforce, particularly the number of Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic, Disabled and LGBTQ+ people, so that our teams reflect the communities in the city we serve. We are also supporting staff with unpaid caring responsibilities to work flexibly.



It is a great time to join us and we welcome your application.



Under the Disability Confident Scheme, disabled applicants, who meet the essential criteria of this job, are guaranteed an interview.



Full-time employees work 37 hours for 52 weeks of the year and we offer a generous holiday entitlement. We are open to discussions about a wide range of flexible working opportunities which benefit you and the Council, including reduced hour contracts, working part time or as a job share.



We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare and safety of children and vulnerable adults and expect all staff to share this commitment. All successful candidates will be required to complete an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service Check.



If you are appointed to this role, your starting salary will be at the bottom of the grade. If you provide payslip evidence that your basic pay is greater than the bottom of the grade, we will consider starting you at the point of minimum advantage within the grade.



Equality of pay is extremely important to us. All roles at Sheffield City Council are going through an evaluation process which may result in changes to some pay arrangements from 2026.
