What skills and experience we're looking for
Ivy Education Trust is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and motivated member of staff to support Newton Abbot College’s disadvantaged students to improve their academic progress in order to reach their potential, with the primary focus being on their literacy and/or numeracy.
This new and exciting role will involve working closely with the Quality of Education team in supporting students with their academic success through a range of methods, including one-to-one mentoring and small group tuition. There is a large body of evidence that tutoring and small-group tuition is effective – particularly where it is targeted at pupils’ specific needs; and that it can be particularly effective for disadvantaged pupils.
Academic Mentors are often graduates with some experience in education or working with students. You may not be a qualified teacher but may be working towards an initial teacher training qualification or considering a career in education.
You will receive a package of ongoing training. The successful applicant will be able to build supportive relationships with young people and have high expectations of student achievement, aspirations and behaviour. Good communication skills, a positive and proactive outlook and a commitment to working as part of a team are essential.
