Home Tutor — PRU / Medical (Mid-Level) vs NQT/ECT Mentor (Mid-Level)

How do Home Tutor — PRU / Medical (Mid-Level) and NQT/ECT Mentor (Mid-Level) compare on AI displacement risk? Home Tutor — PRU / Medical (Mid-Level) scores 59.0/100 (GREEN (Stable)) while NQT/ECT Mentor (Mid-Level) scores 56.6/100 (GREEN (Transforming)). Here's the full breakdown.

Home Tutor — PRU / Medical (Mid-Level): This statutory, LA-employed role delivers 1:1 education to the most vulnerable children in the system — in their homes, hospitals, and community settings. The irreducible combination of physical presence in private spaces, safeguarding accountability, and deep trust with anxious or medically fragile children makes this one of the most AI-resistant teaching roles. Safe for 5+ years; admin and planning tasks transform within 2-3 years.

NQT/ECT Mentor (Mid-Level): The ECT mentor's core work -- weekly coaching conversations, developmental lesson observations, reflective practice facilitation, and pastoral support for newly qualified teachers -- is irreducibly human. AI transforms the administrative and planning layer (progress tracking, resource curation, meeting note drafting) but cannot build the trust relationship that defines effective mentoring. 50% of work is entirely beyond AI reach. Safe for 5+ years.

What Do These Scores Mean?

Each role is assessed using the AI Job Resistance Index (AIJRI), a composite score from 0 to 100 measuring how resistant a role is to AI displacement. The score is built from five dimensions: Task Resistance (how many core tasks can AI automate), Evidence Calibration (real-world adoption data), Barriers (regulatory, physical, and trust barriers protecting the role), Protective Principles (human-centric factors like empathy and judgement), and AI Growth Correlation (whether AI growth helps or hurts the role).

Roles scoring above 60 land in the Green Zone (AI-resistant), 40–60 in the Yellow Zone (needs adaptation), and below 40 in the Red Zone (high displacement risk). For full individual assessments, see the Home Tutor — PRU / Medical (Mid-Level) and NQT/ECT Mentor (Mid-Level) role pages.
