Job description

Hours: Up to 15 hours per week, with days and session times to be agreed

Pay: £27.50 - £35.00 per hour, depending on experience and suitability

The Role

We are looking for a warm, creative and experienced SEND Tutor to provide individualised tuition for a 6-year-old girl with an EHCP.

The learner has additional needs affecting her communication, attention, emotional regulation and engagement with learning. She requires a patient and consistent tutor who can build trust and adapt sessions around how she presents on the day.

Tuition will take place at a suitable independent venue in the CB5 area, with up to 15 hours available each week.

This is not a traditional classroom-style tuition role. Sessions will need to be practical, engaging and play-based, using the learner's interests and strengths to gradually build confidence, engagement and readiness to learn.

SEND Information

The learner has significant hyperactivity and impulsivity, social communication difficulties and expressive language delay.

She can find it difficult to maintain attention during adult-led activities and benefits from learning being delivered in short, manageable bursts, with appropriate movement and sensory breaks.

She also experiences difficulties with peer interaction and displays some behaviours associated with attachment needs.

A calm, nurturing and flexible approach will be important, particularly during periods of dysregulation.

We're Looking for Someone Who:

• Has experience supporting children with SEND and/or EHCPs


• Understands speech, language and communication needs


• Has experience supporting hyperactivity, impulsivity and emotional regulation


• Can use creative, sensory and play-based approaches


• Is calm, nurturing, flexible and able to build trusting relationships


• Can confidently support a child during periods of challenging or dysregulated behaviour

The focus will be on developing communication, engagement, emotional regulation, positive relationships, independence and readiness to learn, alongside appropriate educational activities.
