Job description

Overview

We are looking to appoint a dedicated and experienced tutor to work with secondary-aged pupils who are currently out of school and require bespoke, 1:1 educational support.

These young people may have experienced significant gaps in their education and face a range of challenges including Special Educational Needs (SEN) such as:

• SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs)
• Autism
• Global Developmental Delay
• Other complex or co-occurring needs

Many of the pupils may be working well below age-related expectations and require a patient, trauma-informed and highly adaptable approach to learning. Your role will be to reignite their engagement with education, build trust and confidence, and either support reintegration into a school setting or help identify and work towards vocational or career-focused pathways.

Responsibilities

• Deliver high-quality, personalised tuition tailored to each pupil's individual needs and EHCP outcomes
• Work in a variety of settings - tuition may take place in the home, online or in-school, depending on circumstances
• Build positive, trusting relationships with pupils, parents/carers and wider professionals
• Maintain clear, accurate and daily records, including attendance and detailed session reports showing progress and distance travelled
• Contribute to wider reintegration planning and multi-agency meetings as needed

Qualifications

• Proven experience working with vulnerable secondary-aged pupils, especially those with SEN and complex needs
• A good understanding of trauma-informed practice and strategies to support behaviour and emotional regulation
• Able to work independently and flexibly, while maintaining clear communication with the wider team
• Experience in delivering core subjects, with creative approaches to engagement
• Enhanced DBS and up-to-date safeguarding training (or willingness to obtain)

This is a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of young people who need stability, belief and high-quality education provision outside of the traditional classroom.
