Summary

Do you have experience in supporting disabled students in their education/academic curriculum? Then A Space To Thrive may just have the perfect opportunity for you.

A Space To Thrive Ltd is expanding across the South and South East of England, and we are looking for experienced *ASC Study Skills Tutors who are committed to providing high-quality, person-centred support that empowers students to become confident, independent learners to join our team.

This is a flexible role offering the opportunity to work with university students on a one-to-one basis, either remotely or on a university campus.

The role will be on a self-employed basis, supporting disabled students in higher education who are entitled to the Disabled Students' Allowance via the SFE.

We are currently looking for tutors and mentors to join our team and work in various universities across regions. The roles will be across the South, South West and South East of England.

Tutors are responsible for their own tax and national insurance and must have a UTR number or be willing to register as self-employed.

Student hours are allocated through the DSA/SFE, so work depends on availability and allocations. We operate a fair system for student allocation across our tutors and mentors and will match you with students so each of you will shine. We will do our best to ensure that you receive the hours.

Responsibilities will include:

Delivering individual study skills support that is tailored to each student's needs.

Helping students develop practical strategies for planning, organisation, time management and independent study.

Supporting students with academic reading, note-taking, essay planning, report writing and research techniques.

Assisting students to improve memory, attention, information processing and executive functioning skills where appropriate.

Working collaboratively with students to create realistic goals and review progress throughout the academic year.

Encouraging confidence, independence and self-advocacy within higher education.

Creating strategies with students around organisation, managing deadlines and workload, while helping to implement action plans to stay on track with studies.

Arranging and managing your own appointments with allocated students.

Delivering support online or on campus (at another agreed location with the student - this might include home for students who are distance learning).

Completing session records (timesheets) and administrative tasks accurately and within required timescales.

Always maintaining professional standards, including safeguarding, confidentiality, health and safety, lone working and professional boundaries.

Tutors are responsible for their own tax and national insurance and must have a UTR number or be willing to register as self-employed.
