We're recruiting for a SEN & Alternative Provision Tutor with QTS in Suffolk to support children and young people who are unable to access mainstream education.

Benefits of the role

• Meaningful work: Support learners who need an alternative approach to education and make a genuine difference to their future.
• Competitive pay: £30,000 - £38,000 depending on experience and qualifications.
• Independent working: Deliver personalised support with the freedom to adapt your approach to each learner.
• Varied settings: Work within homes, community venues, and other suitable learning environments.

Your key responsibilities

• Deliver tailored one‑to‑one sessions in English, Maths , life skills, and other agreed areas of learning.
• Plan and adapt lessons based on the individual needs, interests, and abilities of each learner.
• Build positive and trusting relationships that encourage engagement and progress.
• Support learners aged 5-16 with a range of educational, social, emotional, and behavioural needs.
• Deliver sessions within community settings or learners' homes.
• Complete session reports and progress updates following each visit.
• Travel across your local area to deliver sessions and support learners.

• SEND knowledge: Understanding of SEN, including ASD, ADHD, SEMH, and other additional needs.
