About You
You are a motivated and learner-focused professional who enjoys supporting people to succeed in an inclusive, digital learning environment. You bring a calm, organised approach to your work and take pride in providing high-quality support that genuinely makes a difference to learners’ confidence and outcomes.

You are likely to have:

Experience working in an educational setting, ideally supporting learners on blended or distance learning programmes

A background in the fitness industry, with relevant instructor or teaching qualifications

Experience supporting learners with additional learning needs and disabilities, and confidence in signposting or referring where appropriate

Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage learners professionally across a range of channels

Excellent organisational skills, with close attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities

Confidence using digital systems such as CRM, LMS or eLearning platforms, alongside strong general IT skills

About the Role
As a Learning Support Tutor, you will play a vital role in helping learners succeed across a range of blended and distance learning programmes. Working closely with the wider programme and learning support teams, you will provide high-quality academic, pastoral and practical support that removes barriers to learning and enables students to progress with confidence.

You will be a key point of contact for learners, offering timely advice, guidance and encouragement, while also contributing to teaching, assessment and the development of inclusive learning resources. The role is varied and rewarding, combining learner-facing support with strong administrative and organisational responsibilities to ensure systems, processes and student records are accurate, responsive and effective.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is passionate about education, inclusion and learner success, and who enjoys working in a collaborative, remote environment where your contribution directly supports our charitable mission and strategic aims.

Central YMCA is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Any offer of employment will be subject to successfully completing pre-employment checks, including an appropriate level of DBS disclosure, the receipt of satisfactory references, and original ID documentation.
