About the role

Luma Education Recruitment is looking for a SEND English Tutor (or English Teacher with SEND experience) to join a well-established secondary alternative provision in Solihull. This is a full-time, onsite, one-to-one tutoring role with pupils aged 11-16 (KS3 and KS4) who learn best outside mainstream school. Many of them have SEND or other additional needs.

You'll help pupils rebuild their confidence in reading, writing and communication. You'll adapt your teaching to each young person and support them towards meaningful outcomes, including GCSE English where that's right for them.
