Job description

1:1 SEND Nurture Teacher - Alternative Provision & Outreach | Manchester

Location: Manchester & Surrounding Areas

Pay: Competitive hourly rate, dependent on experience

Hours: Flexible / Part-Time

Start: ASAP

QTS desirable but not essential

Not every child can currently access learning in a classroom. And not every experienced educator wants their next role to look like traditional classroom teaching.

SEND Inclusion Support is looking for experienced Nurture Teachers, SEND Tutors and education practitioners to join our growing team across Manchester and the surrounding areas, delivering personalised 1:1 education to children and young people who need a different approach to learning.

You'll work with pupils who need education to meet them where they are - sometimes quite literally.

Teaching may take place in the young person's home, within the community or another agreed learning environment.

This isn't about recreating a traditional classroom in a different location. It's about understanding the individual young person, removing barriers to learning and helping them experience success in education again.

The children and young people you support may have:

-

Autism and ADHD

-

Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs

For some, getting back to learning may begin with rebuilding trust, confidence and routine.

For others, you'll be ready to introduce more structured curriculum learning, adapting activities to their interests, abilities and starting points.

Your teaching needs to respond to the pupil in front of you.

Working individually doesn't mean working alone.

You'll use SEND Inclusion Support's bespoke Nurture Curriculum, a semi-formal curriculum developed specifically for pupils who may not currently be able to access mainstream education.

It provides the structure and progression behind your teaching while giving you the flexibility to adapt sessions around each pupil's needs, interests and starting points.

You'll plan and deliver engaging, meaningful learning experiences, recognising that progress doesn't always begin with an academic target.

And you won't be left to plan everything from scratch.

You'll have access to:

You're an experienced teacher, tutor or education practitioner who has developed strong SEND knowledge and now wants to use that expertise in a more personalised and flexible setting.

You may have worked within a special school, alternative provision, SEND unit or mainstream SEND provision, or have substantial experience supporting pupils with autism, SEMH, EBSA or complex needs.

QTS is desirable but not essential. We're also interested in experienced tutors and education practitioners who can demonstrate the skills and confidence to deliver high-quality, personalised education independently.

You'll need:

-

Strong experience teaching or tutoring children and young people with SEND

An understanding that meaningful progress won't always begin with an academic outcome

Sometimes progress means completing a piece of work.

Sometimes it means a young person engaging in a session for the first time, developing confidence or beginning to believe that education might be possible for them again.

Both matter.

This is an opportunity to step away from whole-class teaching without stepping away from education.

As SEND Inclusion Support continues to grow across Greater Manchester and beyond, we're looking for educators who share our commitment to providing meaningful, individualised education for children and young people who need it most.

SEND Inclusion Support is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All appointments are subject to satisfactory pre-employment and safeguarding checks, including an enhanced DBS check, right to work verification, references and any other checks relevant to the role and setting.
