About G8WAY
G8WAY is a dynamic alternative provision supporting young people who haven’t always thrived in mainstream education. We help learners re engage, rebuild confidence, and discover that they are far more capable than they think.
We know education works best for our students when it’s human, flexible, and a little bit fun.
The Role
We’re looking for a self-employed tutor to teach Maths and English at KS3 and KS4, including GCSE practice. You’ll be working with young people who may test boundaries, challenge assumptions, and occasionally insist they “hate school” (until you win them over).
Your superpower? Making learning feel achievable, enjoyable and the ability to see the individual!
What You’ll Be Doing
Delivering engaging and sometimes differentiated Maths and English sessions
Supporting KS3 KS4 learners with GCSE skills and exam practice
Adapting lessons faster than a student can say “I don’t get it”
Building strong, positive relationships based on trust and consistency
Celebrating progress even the small wins (especially the small wins)
Working as part of the G8WAY team to support each learner’s journey
You Might Be the One If You Are…
Committed to changing young lives
Resilient and tenacious, setbacks don’t scare you
Charismatic enough to engage learners who struggle to find motivation
Calm under pressure, patient by nature, and creative in approach
Confident teaching Maths and English up to GCSE level
The Serious (But Important) Stuff
Experienced qualified teaching or tutoring Maths and English (KS3–KS4)
Strong GCSE subject knowledge
Excellent communication skills
Enhanced DBS (or willingness to get one)
Right to work in the UK
Why Work With G8WAY?
Set daytime hours: Tuesday–Wednesday, 09:30–14:30
Flexible, self-employed arrangement
A genuinely supportive and forward-thinking team
A chance to make a real difference every single day
No two days the same (we promise)
If you believe every young person deserves a second chance, enjoy a challenge, and can bring energy, humour, and heart to your teaching this role has your name on it.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expect all staff/contractors/volunteers to respect this commitment. A consideration of the person’s suitability to work alongside children is part of the selection process.

· subject to an online search. This is to help identify any incidents or issues that have happened, and are publicly available online, which we may wish to explore at interview.
If successful, you will be subject to
· an enhanced disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service.
· pre-employment checks which will include References, Health, Right to Work in UK, DBS and a Declaration that neither they nor anyone who lives in the same household is a disqualified person under the Childcare (Disqualification) Regulations 2009.
Current or previous employers will be contacted and information requested will include
· disciplinary offences relating to children, including any for which the penalty is ‘time expired’.
