Overview

SEND Specialist Tutor Job – Shepton Mallet

Prospero Teaching is looking for SEND Specialist Tutors to deliver bespoke 1:1 tuition packages to young people with SEND who cannot access mainstream education.

About the role

We are seeking inspirational tutors around Shepton Mallet to support children and young people with SEND. Many pupils with SEND have been disengaged from learning.

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