Summary
What skills and experience we're looking for
Do you have a passion for making a real difference in young people’s lives?
Are you ready to help pupils with dyslexia unlock their full potential?
The Governors of Roundhay School are looking for an inspirational and compassionate Dyslexia Academic Tutor to join our forward-thinking Dyslexia Resourced Provision.The successful candidate will be willing to do ‘whatever it takes’ to ensure our pupils/students reach their full potential.
This is more than a tutoring role - it’s an opportunity to empower pupils, influence practice across the school, and work closely with families and professionals to create life-changing educational experiences.
As a Dyslexia Academic Tutor, you’ll provide targeted, high-impact academic support to pupils with an EHCP for dyslexia through both 1:1 and small group interventions. You’ll be a key figure in helping these pupils overcome barriers, develop confidence, and thrive across the curriculum.
Working alongside the Head of Dyslexia, you’ll help shape and coordinate provision, ensuring pupils receive the personalised strategies and resources they need to succeed. You’ll also contribute directly to the statutory EHCP process, playing an important role in annual reviews and ongoing planning.
You will have a passion for inclusion and recognise the great strengths that dyslexic learners bring, as well as the barriers they may experience in their learning. Previous experience of supporting dyslexic learners will be helpful, but training will be provided.
