Beyond Limits Learning & Wellbeing
We are looking for passionate Alternative Provision Tutors to join our growing team in Nottinghamshire. This is a freelance opportunity where you will provide 1:1 and small-group support for children and young people who cannot access mainstream school.
As an Alternative Provision Tutor, you’ll deliver academic learning, mentoring, and therapeutic support. You’ll work with learners who present with Autism, ADHD, Down Syndrome, trauma histories, and complex needs. Sessions often include English and Maths, but may also focus on ART Awards, ASDAN, iDEA Awards, creative projects, cooking, or life skills.
This role is about more than tutoring — it’s about connection, curiosity, and compassion.
