About the role

Telford College have got an extremely exciting opportunity within our Sixth Form for a Personal Tutor and A Level Facilitator.

The landscape of this role is rather niche, with half of the role being an A Level Personal Tutor and the other being spent as an A Level Facilitator.

Ideally we are looking for a candidate that would be interested in a full time position split between the two roles, however, we will accept applicants that are only interested in one of the roles on a part time basis.

A Level Personal Tutor:

  • Act as a personal tutor to A Level students throughout their academic journey, from application to completion.

A Level Facilitator:

  • Work closely with teaching staff to ensure students receive high quality support in the 6th Form which will lead to outstanding outcome above sector norms.
