We are currently recruiting for high calibre tutors to work with Looked After Children throughout the UK. We are committed to closing the attainment gap between them and their peers, and improving their engagement in learning.

Tuition will take place throughout the UK.

About Equal Education
Equal Education is a social enterprise solely for children who are looked after. We are committed and passionate about improving education outcomes.

Children looked after represent 40% of children in custody and 27% of the adult prison population have previously been in care, where currently looked after children make up 0.1% of the UK population.

We feel we can empower children looked after, through education and individually tailored support. With your help, we can tackle this social problem from a grass-roots level while helping children achieve learning goals.
