Pushforward Primary Education Ltd are seeking a Secondary Education Delivery Practitioner Tutor.
Do you have a passion to help young people find their confidence and spark? Are you able to practically apply subjects to engage young people?
Pushforward has spent 13 years developing provision for the education of young people who do not fit within a mainstream approach to learning.
We believe that every young person has the right to be an individual, to know they matter, have a voice, feel safe and confident enough to progress through the world in a way which makes them smile.
We are all rubbish at lots of things, let’s concentrate on finding the things we are great at!
We are looking for people to join the team. Are you someone with experience in helping people, whatever that looks like. Can you see someone struggling to navigate the world successfully, understand why, and work with them to make life easier.
In addition, if you have skills or passion that you can teach young people that would be amazing. You don't need to have teaching experience, just a passion for sharing knowledge and giving our learners a direction to start in.
