For the position of Math and Literacy Tutor (English & French)
Reporting to the Owner / Clinic Manager
Start date: flexible
The successful candidate will be responsible for providing math and literacy tutoring in English and French to children and adolescents as part of an interprofessional team of service providers. The tutor’s students may also be working with speech-language pathology and occupational therapy for support needs related to diverse learning, communication, and/or neurodevelopmental needs and disorders.
This position is permanent part-time. Training will be provided upon hiring.
Shoreline is committed to providing person-centred services with flexible service options. We offer scheduling options to respond to the diverse needs of clients. We offer evening and weekend appointments to reduce the burden on families in which both guardians are in the workforce with limited flexibility to take time off regularly to attend appointments with their child. Also, to reduce the amount of class time that school-age children would miss in order to attend tutoring sessions. This is also appealing to staff who prefer to work evenings and weekends for various personal reasons.
Hours of work and applicant availability will be discussed during the interview stage but would include two clinic shifts in which the tutor would be booked to see clients – either two weekday evenings or one weekday evening and a Sunday. Scheduling of associated prep time is flexible and can be completed at the office or at home (with appropriate safeguards).

- positive attitude, flexibility, patience
- attention to detail

Compensation will be based on experience. This information will be discussed at the time of offer after review of the candidate’s experience and input from references. Staff are paid an hourly wage for both direct and indirect billable time with clients and for additional project work. The successful candidate would be an employee of Shoreline (not a contractor). Thus, Shoreline would be responsible for the following: payment of the employer portion for the Canadian Pension Plan and Employment Insurance contributions, provision of equipment required to perform the job (computer, assessments, treatment materials, PPE, etc.).
Shoreline is committed to ethical practice. Clinical staff are not pressured to work outside of their scope of practice and competencies nor to provide services to a client when it is not justified.
