We require for September 2023 an appropriately qualified and experienced professional to work with individuals and groups of students who struggle to attend school. The primary focus will be to re-engage students in their education through English and Maths tuition.
The role will involve developing and delivering tailored sessions to students in their homes, community centres or at school, up to and including GCSE level. Working under the guidance of the Lead Outreach Support Tutor and the SENCo, monitoring and assessment of student progress will be essential, as well as providing appropriate feedback to students and to their teachers.
Outreach tutors work closely with departments in school, including subject areas, learning support and mental health professionals and other agencies who support students. Furthermore, the role involves contributing towards Early Help Assessments as a mechanism to support students receiving tutor support and to promote a successful return to school. Alternatively, this process will be used to support and signpost towards alternative educational placements or provision. Therefore, having the ability to build trusting and supportive relations with students and their families is imperative, as is the ability to work both collaboratively and independently.
This is an enhanced role and applicants will be expected to show previous demonstrable experience in a similar support role.
This post will also involve playing a full part in the wider life of the school. You will need to be good humored, resilient and enjoy working with young people aged 13-18. The successful candidate will be expected to take a lead role in an area of the Learning Support Department’s development.

Whitley Bay High School
Whitley Bay High School is a mixed 13-18 comprehensive school. The school has grown considerably in size over the last decade, and is oversubscribed each year. Currently the roll is 1770, with 650 in the Sixth Form. There are 184 members of staff, 115 Teaching and 69 Support staff.
We moved into our new school in September 2023 which has been built on the same site as the old school. This has provided Whitley Bay High School with state-of-the-art facilities for our students, staff and the wider community.
The School benefits from a very committed and forward-looking Governing Body, and Governors take a keen interest (and usually are involved) in staff appointments. Much of the work of the Governing Body is done in its three Committees, and staff and students are often invited to meetings to make their views known.
In conclusion, Whitley Bay High School has an outstanding reputation both in the North East and nationally. The school prides itself on positive relationships and its relaxed but purposeful atmosphere. It is in the middle of exciting and extensive continuing development, and new appointments will have an important part to play in this.
