About this Opportunity
An exciting opportunity to join an outstanding team and be at the forefront of our organisational development
This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the development of student support through raising aspiration and performance and helping to build ambition, confidence and resilience in young people. The role of the Progress Tutor will be central to the Sixth Form and to the establishment and maintenance of a culture of hard work, success, resilience, supporting high levels of academic achievement and progress.
Progress Tutors work in a diverse range of ways with students including goal-setting, monitoring achievement and attendance and motivational coaching. They challenge underperformance and build self-esteem and confidence though a rapport based on trust, honesty and respect. They are expected to liaise with parents, Subject Teachers, Heads of Department and Head of Sixth Form. Each Progress Tutor will support, challenge and motivate students in all aspects of the learning journey. They will be instrumental in delivering a high-quality tutorial programme and helping students to make informed decisions about their next steps after Sixth Form.
Working with the Head of Sixth Form, the post-holder will be pivotal in helping to embed effective systems within the Sixth Form.
There will be opportunities to collaborate and work with Progress Tutors in other schools and sixth form colleges in the Trust, as well as a programme of support and induction.
