Lapwing continues to grow and strengthen its peripatetic Education Team, particularly in north/mid Essex (around Colchester, Halstead, Braintree, Witham) and is looking for highly versatile tutors, working out of home, to deliver best practice support to young people with special educational needs.

The successful candidates will be outstanding teachers from any age range with robust knowledge and experience of teaching, assessing and working with young people with special educational needs. They will have excellent interpersonal skills and creative teaching approaches.

Lapwing is a specialist education provider and charity currently expanding in Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk, working with young people (aged 4-25 years old) facing exclusion from education, employment and the community through social, emotional, behavioural or learning difficulties and disabilities. Lapwing delivers a broad range of highly personalised education programmes and projects that are designed to meet the needs of, and help realise the aspirations of, each student.

The post is peripatetic covering education programmes predominantly delivered within 30 miles of home, depending on where candidates live. There are opportunities for professional development and career progression as the charity grows.
