Job description

SEND Specialist Tutor Job – Crediton

Prospero Teaching is looking for SEND Specialist Tutors to deliver bespoke tuition packages on a 1:1 basis to young people with SEND that cannot currently access mainstream education.

The Opportunity

We are looking for inspirational tutors around Crediton to support children and young people with SEND. Many children with SEND have been disengaged with their learning. We support pupils who have struggled to stay in the classroom, who feel too anxious to go to school or whose needs aren't sufficiently supported at school.

As a SEND Specialist Tutor, you must be able to create, plan and deliver 1:1 tailored lessons to bridge gaps in pupil education and boost attainment levels. You may be an experienced tutor or teacher or have experience of working with children in a therapeutic way. One of your aims will be to support and re‑engage a pupil in their learning, offer structure back into their daily routine, continue their educational development and return to school.

The tuition is replacing school for these young people and is normally part‑time, taking place during school hours, five days a week. Prospero will work with you closely to monitor the progression with each pupil by asking you to submit weekly reports.
