SEN Tutor

This role is ideal for a tutor who understands the importance of relationship-building, emotional safety, and flexible learning, and who is confident supporting a learner who is not currently accessing a mainstream school setting.

The Role

• Provide 1:1 tuition in a low-pressure, student-led environment
• Prioritise building trust and confidence before introducing academic learning
• Support gradual re-engagement with education
• Adapt learning to suit the individual's pace, interests, and emotional needs
• Introduce academic content sensitively once the learner is ready
• Encourage motivation and positive attitudes towards future learning and qualifications

Essential Requirements

• Minimum of 6 months' experience working within a UK based educational setting
• Ability to build positive relationships with young people
• Patient, flexible, and emotionally aware approach
• Confidence working 1:1 and adapting sessions as needed

Desirable Experience

• Experience supporting pupils with EBSA
• Experience working with SEN, including anxiety-related needs
• Background in alternative provision, home tutoring, or pastoral support

What We're Looking For

• A tutor who won't rush into academics
• Someone who can create a safe, calm, and predictable learning environment
• A reflective practitioner who adapts their approach based on what works for the student
• Someone who values progress in confidence and engagement as much as academic outcomes

If you are passionate about supporting young people who face barriers to education and can offer a calm, nurturing 1:1 approach, we would love to hear from you.
