Job description

A SEND teaching role that's about much more than the classroom.

Luma Education Recruitment is looking for a SEND Tutor to join a specialist education setting in Totnes, Devon, supporting young people with additional learning needs through Functional Skills, practical learning, life skills and community-based education.

This is a great opportunity for a Teacher, Tutor, HLTA, SEND professional or experienced Learning Support professional who enjoys working creatively with young people and wants a role where no two days are quite the same.

You’ll combine education, outreach and real-world learning, helping young people develop their Maths, English, communication, confidence and independence in ways that are relevant to everyday life.

One day might involve Functional Skills Maths and English in the morning, followed by a trip into the community. Another could include practical budgeting, shopping, cooking, planning an activity or supporting a young person to build confidence doing something independently.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Delivering or supporting Functional Skills Maths and English
• Providing 1:1 and small-group SEND tuition
• Supporting young people working towards individual learning goals
• Making learning practical, engaging and relevant to everyday life
• Developing confidence, communication and independence
• Supporting life skills such as budgeting, shopping and making choices
• Taking learning into the local community
• Supporting educational visits, activities and trips
• Encouraging participation in new activities and experiences
• Building positive, trusting relationships with learners
• Working alongside teachers and the wider specialist education team
• Adapting activities and learning to suit individual needs

The emphasis is on making education meaningful and helping young people develop skills they can use both now and in the future.

Who Would Suit This SEND Tutor Role?

We’re interested in speaking with candidates from a range of backgrounds, including:

• SEND Teachers
• SEN Teachers
• Functional Skills Tutors
• Tutors
• HLTA
• Teaching Assistants
• Learning Support Assistants
• Outreach Tutors
• Learning Mentors
• Youth Workers
• Support Workers

Experience supporting young people with SEND, SEN, SEMH, autism, ADHD, additional learning needs or barriers to education would be beneficial.

You may already have experience delivering Functional Skills, or you could be an experienced education professional who is confident supporting Maths and English and wants to move into a more flexible SEND tutoring role.

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Passionate about helping young people progress
• Confident supporting learning on a 1:1 and small-group basis
• Patient, positive and encouraging
• Able to build strong relationships with young people
• Creative and flexible in their approach to learning
• Interested in practical and community-based education
• Comfortable supporting young people outside the traditional classroom
• Reliable, proactive and happy to get involved
• A confident driver with a full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle

You don't necessarily need to have followed a traditional teaching career. If you have relevant SEND experience, strong communication skills and enjoy helping young people learn in different ways, we'd like to hear from you.

Why Apply?

• Full-time, long-term opportunity
• Based in Totnes, Devon
• SEND tutoring and Functional Skills experience
• Varied combination of education, outreach and community learning
• 1:1 and small-group work
• Opportunity to develop independence and life skills
• Weekly pay
• Dedicated consultant support from Luma Education Recruitment
• Access to further SEND, SEMH and Alternative Provision opportunities
