Job description

Could you help a child discover their confidence, unlock their potential and fall in love with learning?

At New Chapter Tuition, we believe every child deserves to feel valued, understood and supported to achieve their potential. We're looking for passionate, patient and creative EYFS and Primary SEND Tutors to join our growing team and deliver personalised 1:1 educational support to children aged 5-11 across Lewisham.

This is an opportunity to move beyond a one-size-fits-all approach to education and make a genuine difference through meaningful, individualised teaching.

You'll work with children who may have Autism (ASC), ADHD, speech and language difficulties, learning disabilities, SEMH needs or experience barriers to accessing mainstream education.

We understand that great teaching happens when practitioners have the opportunity to really get to know the children they support.

Our approach is relationship-led, nurturing and trauma-informed. We put each child's individual needs, interests, strengths and EHCP outcomes at the centre of their learning.

As part of our team, you'll have the opportunity to:

• Make a meaningful difference through dedicated 1:1 teaching.
• Build positive, trusting relationships with children and celebrate their achievements.
• Deliver creative, personalised learning rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
• Develop your experience and understanding of SEND and individual learning needs.
• Use your teaching skills in a rewarding environment where every small step forward matters.

About the role

You'll deliver engaging and accessible EYFS, KS1 and KS2 learning sessions, adapting your teaching style to suit each child's individual abilities, interests and communication needs.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Delivering personalised phonics, literacy and numeracy sessions.
• Using play-based, sensory and practical activities to make learning engaging.
• Supporting communication, emotional regulation and social development.
• Building children's confidence, independence and enjoyment of learning.
• Planning individualised sessions linked to children's learning needs and EHCP outcomes.
• Monitoring progress, recognising achievements and adapting learning activities accordingly.
• Working collaboratively with families and the New Chapter Tuition team.

About you

We're interested in hearing from enthusiastic education professionals who genuinely care about helping children thrive.

You may be a qualified primary teacher, experienced SEND tutor, Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) or another education practitioner with relevant experience.

Ideally, you'll have:

• Experience supporting children aged 5-11.
• A good understanding of the EYFS or Primary National Curriculum.
• Experience working with children with SEND and additional needs.
• Confidence adapting learning to individual abilities and communication needs.
• A patient, creative, flexible and nurturing approach.
• The ability to build positive relationships and create a safe, supportive learning environment.

Most importantly, you'll recognise that progress looks different for every child and understand the importance of celebrating every achievement, however small.

Safeguarding: All appointments are subject to safer recruitment checks, including an enhanced DBS check, satisfactory references, identity verification and right-to-work checks.
