Not all words look alike.

It’s true that young and old, we all think differently. We see words differently. We process information differently.

Are you able to think differently in how you support young people?

As a Specialist Dyslexia Tutor, you’ll be key in supporting and teaching young people in small groups and 1-1. You’ll be screening students in Further Education with dyslexic tendencies, organising exam concessions, and supporting those with EHCPs.

We’re confident that at the end of your working day, you’ll have overcome challenges and made a genuine difference, leaving a lasting impression.

Impactful, fulfilling, progression are just three words that outline this role.

As an Outstanding provider in East Kent, its not a secret that we pride ourselves with our standards of supporting students. But we also focus on the wellbeing and support for our employees. Here are just some things we do:

Competitive holiday entitlement (42 days FTE + bank holidays).
Generous government pension scheme (23% company contribution).
Paid time off for your children’s first day at school, for interviews and when moving home.
Enhanced paternity and maternity leave.
Opportunities to develop, train and progress across our group of 6 colleges totalling 1600 staff.
Counselling support and occupational health referrals.
Cycle to work, car leasing and tech purchasing discount schemes.
Annual community days, and ‘My 10 Days’ voluntary scheme where you can give back to something you are passionate about.
Eco Sustainability Pledge to reach Net-Zero by 2030.
