The Role

As a 1:1 SEND Tutor, you will work closely with individual pupils to help them re-engage with education, build confidence and make meaningful academic progress.

Tuition will be tailored to each pupil's individual needs and may include English, Maths, Science, Functional Skills and other curriculum areas, depending on the pupil's requirements.

You will be responsible for:

• Delivering engaging 1:1 tuition to pupils with SEND and/or SEMH needs.
• Planning and adapting lessons around each pupil's individual abilities, needs and learning outcomes.
• Supporting pupils to develop their academic skills, confidence and engagement with education.
• Teaching subjects such as English, Maths, Science, Functional Skills and other curriculum areas where appropriate.
• Delivering tuition in pupils' homes or suitable community venues.
• Building positive and trusting relationships with pupils.
• Creating a calm, supportive and inclusive learning environment.
• Monitoring pupil progress and maintaining accurate records of sessions.
• Liaising with parents, carers, schools, local authority professionals and other relevant agencies where required.
• Supporting pupils who may have experienced barriers to accessing mainstream education.

Essential Requirements

We are looking for tutors who have:

• Experience working with children or young people with SEND and/or SEMH needs.
• Previous experience delivering 1:1 tuition, teaching or educational support.
• The ability to plan and deliver engaging, personalised learning.
• A patient, adaptable and nurturing approach.
• Confidence working independently with pupils in their homes or community settings.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• A genuine passion for helping young people overcome barriers to education.
• QTS is desirable but not essential.
• A commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.
• An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to obtain one.
• Satisfactory professional references.
• The right to work in the UK.

Why Join Quantum Scholars?

This is a rewarding opportunity for an experienced tutor or education professional who wants to make a genuine difference through personalised, 1:1 support.

You will have the opportunity to work with pupils who require an alternative approach to education, helping them rebuild their confidence, develop their skills and work towards positive educational outcomes.
