Sports Tutor – Alternative Provision (Secondary)
Location: Leeds | Start: September | Hours: Full-Time | Pay: Competitive Daily Rate
Are you passionate about using sport to inspire, motivate and transform the lives of young people?
We are recruiting on behalf of a specialist Alternative Provision in Leeds for a full-time Sports Tutor to join their team from September. This is a fantastic opportunity to support secondary‑aged students who have experienced barriers to mainstream education and require a patient, consistent and trauma‑informed approach.
The provision supports young people with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, additional learning needs and disrupted educational experiences. The school prides itself on creating a safe, nurturing environment where positive relationships, resilience and personal growth are at the heart of everything they do. Small class sizes and personalised support enable students to re‑engage with education and achieve success both academically and personally.
The Role
As a Sports Tutor, you’ll use physical activity and sport as a tool to build confidence, improve wellbeing and encourage engagement in learning. You’ll deliver practical sports sessions whilst acting as a positive role model, helping students develop teamwork, resilience, emotional regulation and self‑belief.
Responsibilities
- Deliver engaging sports and physical education sessions to secondary‑aged students.
- Build positive, trusting relationships with young people who may display behaviours that challenge.
- Encourage participation, teamwork and healthy lifestyles.
- Support students with emotional regulation and positive behaviour.
- Work closely with teaching and pastoral staff to help students achieve their individual targets.
- Maintain high standards of safeguarding and wellbeing at all times.
The Ideal Candidate
- Experience working with young people in education, coaching, youth work or alternative provision.
- Confident supporting students with SEMH, SEND or challenging behaviour.
- Passionate about sport and its ability to positively impact young people’s lives.
- Calm, resilient and able to build strong professional relationships.
- Committed to safeguarding and inclusive practice.
This is an incredibly rewarding opportunity to make a genuine difference to young people’s futures within a supportive and highly respected specialist setting where every day is a fresh opportunity for success.
