About the Role

Connex Education is seeking passionate English Tutors to support young people with SEND and SEMH needs who are currently unable to access mainstream education.

This is a highly rewarding role where you’ll have the independence to plan and deliver personalised English lessons, manage your own caseload, and use your initiative to help students rebuild confidence and re-engage with learning. Working on a one-to-one basis, you’ll play a vital part in each student’s progress—academically and personally.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan, prepare, and deliver creative and engaging English lessons tailored to individual needs.

• Adapt learning approaches to suit students with Autism, ADHD, or SEMH challenges.

• Mentor students who have struggled to engage in education, encouraging resilience and self-worth.

• Support both academic development and personal growth.

• Take ownership of your caseload, managing time, planning, and lesson preparation.

• Communicate regularly with parents, carers, and local authorities to update on progress.

• Keep accurate records of attendance, lesson content, and outcomes.

• Uphold safeguarding and health & safety standards at all times.

• Use initiative to problem-solve and adapt strategies when needed.

What We’re Looking For

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent (experienced tutors, HLTA, or support staff also considered).

• Strong subject knowledge in English, with proven experience in teaching or tutoring.

• Experience supporting SEMH students, ideally in tuition, mentoring, or alternative provision.

• Understanding of strategies to support Autism, ADHD, and emotional regulation.

• Patient, resilient, and adaptable, with strong behaviour management skills.

• Experience from related fields such as counselling, prisons, youth offending teams, or support work (advantageous).

• Ability to work independently, managing your caseload and preparing lessons effectively.

• Valid Enhanced DBS (on the update service, or willingness to apply).

• Full UK driving licence and access to a car (preferred).

What We Offer

• A rewarding role where your teaching directly impacts young lives.

• Flexibility to manage your own schedule and caseload.

• Ongoing referrals from the local authority.

• Safeguarding guidance, CPD opportunities, and continuous support from our team.
