Hair and Beauty Tutor

Supply Hive is working with a specialist education and training setting in High Wycombe who are looking for a Hair & Beauty Tutor to support young people aged 15–25 to develop practical skills, build confidence and work towards greater independence.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is passionate about Hair & Beauty and wants to make a genuine difference to young people who may need a more tailored approach to education.
The setting is developing a training salon where learners can gain hands-on experience in a realistic working environment. As the programme grows, learners will have the opportunity to work with real customers, helping them develop their skills, confidence and understanding of the industry.
The young people you’ll be supporting may have SEND and/or SEMH needs, have struggled in mainstream education or need additional encouragement to recognise their potential. Some learners may also require more individualised support, including outreach, as they work towards greater independence.
We’re looking for someone who can build positive relationships, create a welcoming learning environment and make Hair & Beauty engaging and accessible for learners with a range of needs.
You might be an experienced tutor looking for a new challenge, or someone from the Hair & Beauty industry with experience in mentoring, coaching or supporting others. Formal teaching experience isn’t essential for the right person, as support will be available to gain a teaching qualification.
The role

• Create a calm, inclusive environment where learners feel safe to learn, practise and build confidence.
• Deliver engaging, practical Hair & Beauty sessions, supporting learners towards Entry Level and Level 1 qualifications.

• Support learners to develop independence, employability skills and readiness for work.
• Work collaboratively with colleagues to develop lesson plans, schemes of work and learning resources.
• Monitor and record learner progress, engagement and interventions, contributing to reviews where required.
• Support learner interviews, onboarding and induction.
• Maintain high standards of safeguarding and follow all relevant policies and procedures.
• Provide individualised in-centre or outreach support where needed, including occasional home visits.

What we’re looking for Above all, we want someone who understands young people, builds trust easily and has the patience and empathy to support learners who may have had difficult experiences of education.
You’ll ideally have:

• Practical Hair & Beauty industry experience, preferably with an NVQ Level 2 qualification or above.
• Experience of training, mentoring, coaching or supporting others.
• Experience of, or a strong understanding of, supporting young people with SEND and/or SEMH needs.
• A positive, learner-centred approach, with the ability to encourage young people who may struggle with confidence or engagement.
• The ability to make practical learning enjoyable, relevant and accessible while maintaining professional industry standards.
• Flexibility to adapt sessions and provide additional support when required.
• Strong communication, organisation and time-management skills.
• The ability to work independently, including lone working where necessary.
• A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle insured for business use.
• GCSE Maths and English at grade 4 or equivalent.
• Confidence using Microsoft Office and maintaining accurate learner records.
• A willingness to complete a Level 3 Education & Training qualification within three months if you don't already hold one.
• A commitment to ongoing professional development, coaching and CPD.
