Many of the students have additional needs, including Autism (ASD), ADHD, SEMH needs, Speech and Language difficulties, Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD), and other SEND requirements.

• Adapt lesson plans and teaching strategies to accommodate a range of learning profiles and EHCP targets.
• Promote confidence, independence, and positive engagement with learning.
• Use creative and differentiated approaches to meet academic, social, emotional, and behavioural needs.
• Work collaboratively with parents, carers, schools, local authorities, and other professionals.
• Monitor, record, and report on student progress and outcomes.

Requirements

• Experience working with children and young people with SEND.
• Strong understanding of a range of special educational needs, including ASD, ADHD, SEMH, and learning difficulties.
• Ability to deliver personalised learning and adapt resources effectively.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to obtain one).
• Right to work in the UK.

Desirable

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or a relevant teaching qualification.
• Experience delivering EOTAS, alternative provision, or home tuition.
• Knowledge of EHCPs and targeted intervention strategies.
• Experience working with Looked After Children (LAC).
• Training in areas such as Team Teach, Autism Awareness, Makaton, PECS, or Zones of Regulation.
• Previous experience delivering 1:1 tuition within community or home settings.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a passionate SEN Tutor to make a real difference in the lives of vulnerable young people. By providing high-quality, personalised support, you will help students overcome barriers to learning, rebuild confidence, and achieve positive educational outcomes.
