Job description

SEND Tutor - Reignite a Love of Learning

£30-£42 per hour | Part-time or Full-time | West Sussex

BrightTeach SEND Tutors play a vital role in helping young people reconnect with education in a way that feels safe, supportive, and positive.

Many of our learners have struggled in mainstream settings. Through calm, consistent, and personalised tutoring, you'll help them feel heard, understood, and capable. Over time, tutors often see remarkable transformations, from low confidence and disengagement to curiosity, resilience, and pride.

This role offers the chance to work independently, build strong relationships, and focus on quality over quantity. It's flexible, well-paid, and emotionally rewarding work for educators who care deeply about inclusive education.

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide in-person educational tuition to children and young people with SEND needs (at times, tuition is provided online; however, the majority is face to face).
• Plan, prepare, and teach a range of bespoke and student-centred lessons to ensure student engagement and progress.
• Establish SMART targets for all learners and regularly review progress against these.
• Design interventions that will support both the emotional and academic engagement of students.
• Safeguard the welfare of students, including following the defined safeguarding processes in line with our safeguarding policy.
• Ensure regular reporting of attendance, progress, and behavioural presentation relating to your students following each session.
• Carry out risk assessments of environments and activities to ensure student safety
• Attendance and participation at multi-agency meetings and staff CPD opportunities

Who we are looking for

• Qualified Teachers with a teaching qualification (QTS) or practitioners with significant classroom experience.
• Significant experience supporting students with SEND in either the primary, secondary or college sector.
• Engaging educators who are knowledgeable, passionate, and have an understanding of how to engage and motivate learners who may have experienced challenges in their educational journey.
• Enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or be willing to have a DBS check taken out on you.
• The completion of safeguarding training/knowledge of safeguarding, and of creating a safe learning environment.
• Excellent subject knowledge.
• Excellent written and communication skills.
• Ability to work independently.
