Tutor Assistants / Tutors / Session Leaders

We work with a range of learners, from 11-16 and post 16 learners.

Our students include those with a range of social, emotional, and mental health needs which have prevented them thriving at school as they should.

We are looking for dedicated, kind, and respectful people who can communicate and encourage our students in our Alternative Provisions in Equine, Lifestyle and Forest School as well as our Post 16 Diploma programmes.

Our focus is on improving student mental health and focusing on building their self-esteem and improving outcomes for young people. We do this by creating opportunities to try new, exciting activities in a safe and supported way. Personal growth and progressive, experiential learning are centre to our approach.

The right person would be able to create a meaningful experience, whilst supporting the group lead with a variety of teaching and mentoring methods including group teaching, class-based sessions, and practical sessions; effectively managing learners’ behaviour and ensuring that they achieve their highest potential.

HEROS Charity is an aftercare and retraining specialist centre based at North Farm Stud in Oxfordshire. The stud offers excellent facilities with purpose-built, modern American-style barns and a range of stabling.  There are two isolation yards, 12 straw turnout shelters and convalescent paddocks, three horse walkers, a lunging and breaking circular covered shed, a 40m x 25m outdoor menage, a state-of-the-art 32m x 54m indoor arena and a dedicated veterinary treatment centre/area which includes wireless x-ray, scanner and scope and other appropriate equipment.  In October 2022, HEROS was appointed by the Horse Welfare Board as the new Primary Aftercare Partner for British Horseracing’s official welfare charity, Retraining of Racehorses (RoR), for the provision of specialist care and support for horses at their first step out of racing and to assist development and implementation of new strategies to strengthen welfare for horses. Since starting operations in 2006, HEROS has rehomed more than 800 ex-racehorses and has also built an impressive educational programme over the past seven years, backed by the Racing Foundation.
