Job description

SEND Specialist Tutor - Glastonbury

We are 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 Glastonbury to support children and young people with SEND. Many children with SEND have been disengaged with their learning.
