 We are currently looking to recruit highly motivated, dynamic and enthusiastic Tutors to work in our amazing school.

We are excited to offer a Quest New Starter Loyalty Bonus of £1000 (pro-rota for part time role) to all new starters after completion of two years service to reward you for your on-going commitment and loyalty to Quest.

You will be working with children with autism, implementing learning and behaviour programs set by our qualified teachers and behaviour specialist using techniques based on the principles of ABA.

You will work either 1-to-1 with pupils or in small groups of pupils (typically no more than 2-3 pupils per group), ensuring the daily needs of our pupils are met in a professional, competent, safe and fun school environment.

This is a fun and rewarding hands-on role, where no two days are the same. You will need to be creative, energetic and committed to providing an excellent school experience to our pupils.

The ideal candidate will be passionate about making a difference to children’s lives by enabling them to learn, thrive and achieve.

Full training will be provided and there are great opportunities for career progression. Enthusiasm, reliability, being a team player and a self starter are key skills required for the role.

 

 

Information about the school

Quest School is an independent specialist school, registered to take pupils from age 5-19 years, across the autistic spectrum. Our last Ofsted inspection in November 2022 rated us ‘Outstanding’ across all areas.

Quest was founded in 2003 by a group of parents and Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA) professionals, seeking to create a specialist learning environment, designed around the specific needs of pupils with autism.

The ABA approach is foundational to every aspect of learning within the school and uses a structured teaching approach built on the principles of behaviour science. Quest is the only ABA school in Kent – there are only a handful of other ABA schools across the UK.

Regardless of ability level, pupils at Quest School have made outstanding progress in all areas of learning. For some, this is achieving everyday tasks independently; for others, it is achieving nationally recognised accreditation at Key Stage 4 and 5. All pupils at Quest have an Education, Health and Care Plan and consequently, places are agreed and funded by Local Authorities rather than individual fee-paying places.
